Comment on Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace

Uber is a loan word. Doesn’t matter how your perceive it, that doesn’t make it a more German. So is iceberg.

    You’re in a thread complaining about a software using a German name for it’s German meaning. Your example for a ‘good German name’ is an English word that has German origins.
