(By the way, I don't speak German, the German language links I shared recently were for the German fork of switching.social which belongs to someone else.)
If I understand correctly, the article predates the response, and the article only talks about the response in the addendums. I thought this was just another link to the original article.
I think it's worth posting both links, because the author talking about a response isn't the same as reading both article and response.
