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

      Lemmy’s servers are probably in germany. I’ve seen it on my instance too.

        I’ve definitely seen that kind of thing happen with a Mastodon instance hosted in Germany.

          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
