I mean that the .org ending makes it look like something international. If I’m not mistaken .org stands for organisation. So it’s like visiting “The Feddit Organisation”, but the instance is primary German. The sidebar of the instance is German first, English second. It’s just confusing and IMO also misleading. They could’ve picked “lemmy.de” or “feddit.au” or something similar.
Is disagree. It means to me that there is still a preference for centralisation in the mind, which is limiting. Thinking the same will lead to the same outcome. Just like the people who left twitter, went to mastodon, immediately went “but this isn’t twitter, why isn’t this twitter?” and started demanding all the twitter features that made twitter toxic in the first place.
If you think centralist in a federation, you will always feel uncomfortable and push for centralist ideas, ideals, and goals.
feddit.au would not make sense, last time I checked Australia is not a german speaking countr. lemmy.de was one of the proposed new domains, iirc, but the users eventually chose feddit.org specifically because we did want to make it a clear successor to feddit.de, but we didn’t want to tie it to a country specific tld like .de, .at, or ch to indicate that none of the german speaking countries is “more important” or “prioritized” over the other.
Austria. Dunno what their domain is.
