I have a bro in the US @Zengen@social.fossware.space. He visited me a couple times in Germany (even for my wedding) and I visited him in the US two times. Last time with my wife and my kids, in April. When we explained to his family what a Handy is in Germany, they all laughed and this is what ultimately led me to the creation of this meme.
I feel that mostly older folks still use the term? Maybe it's just my friends and I. Ever since I realized what it means in english-speaking countries, I stopped saying it.
Maybe, I'm wrong. But again, I rarely hear the term "Handy" any more.
I already noticed that Duolingo isn't very good for learning languages after taking a glance at it's Japanese course. I need to take a look at the German one, as well.
There are several scripts working like that. I use lcs (lemmy community seeder). I'm going to switch to something else or make my own, because lcs doesn't handle it well if an instance is overloaded or not available.
My instance uses a seeder script that'll do exactly that, but automated. It'll check the most popular communities on the most popular servers and use an account to subscribe to them.
Oh, it was just a couple days ago and I'm not 100% sure if it was that instance. I faintly remember something about a hated episode or entire series? I'm not sure. I'm not a trekkie. I just remember that it gave off powermod vibes to me and I saw that a couple times. Didn't spend any more attention to that, though, because I live by the standard live and let live. As long as nobody on my instance reports anything, I'm not going to act in most cases.

Also, he and I frequently make jokes about it.
