It is really sad that Patrick Breyer will no longer be part of the European Parliament. His work was very important. I can also really recommend the 37C3 video!

From his Mastodon page:

Posts auf Deutsch 🇩🇪 and in English 🇬🇧

So he starts each of his post with an emoji showing which language he’s posting in. I know there’s also a language tag built into Mastodon, but he’s chosen to use the emoji

Probably because he’s written it in English.
