    This is very funny but I’m wondering why you’re posting the German YouTube placeholder unfurl description…

          yep, our instance and a ton of mastodon instances are hosted on hetzner (though I think we’re in their Finnish datacenter?) and recently Google made a change that seems to be returning that same German text as the description for every YouTube video requested by a hetzner IP

          it’s definitely annoying and user-hostile, but that’s Google for ya
