@ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu @sebvandenbrink@mastodon.nl it's a remnant from the older german font-styles where writing "sz" looked like "ß", and i think we should/could slowly phase it out 🤷♀️

@malte@anticapitalist.party @sebvandenbrink@mastodon.nl I’m going to disagree on the phasing out part, I think it’s a great looking letter (especially in the font used on street signs here) and adds uniqueness to how the language is written. As an immigrant here, there’s lots of things in German that I think could be simplified, but the ß is really not confusing enough to be worth losing its uniqueness over.
