This won't do, they don't have a pun or funny reference in their URL!
Our sense of humour is worse than germans, what did you expect?
And it’s a government institution too. Those aren’t well known for their sense of humor.
If you'd like to requisition a sense of humour you'll have to submit the proper forms in triplicate and wait 90 days while your request is processed.
Looking forward to Firefox local translations, my French isn't good enough

Isn't local translation already a thing? I had it for a while already
oh are you guys using the extension, I just got it
I think the news article I saw recently was talking about it being built in?

You can enable the built-in feature in about:config with browser.translations.enable
Just to make you aware: Linguist is an add-on that allows you to change its settings to use the Bergamaot offline translator, making it totally private.
FF local translations is already there in the stable releases. Just update!

I'm using Fennec BTW

Great news!
I have one and the most important question, why exactly Mastodon? Not Friendica, pleroma or Misskey or something....
Most likely because out of those, Mastodon is the most well known.
