As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

Inspired, yes. But uber is still not a German word.

Imagine if I founded a company called "Tougt" and claimed this is an English word. Not inspired by, is. Who needs the letter 'h' anyways?

I fail to see how it matters that a word commonly known as "german" is not directly German but instead is one step removed.

They could have just as easily pulled another easy-to-grok word from German and slightly changed the spelling.

Those arguing about this technicality here are missing the point.
