In 10 Tagen ist es wieder soweiiiiiit! 
Am 18.01.2026 schmeißen wir zwischen 14 und 18 Uhr alle endo cis Männer aus dem C3D2 Hackerspace und veranstalten den 
FLINTA-Tag
(name change pending)!
Es gibt keine übergeordnete Agenda; es geht einfach um ein nettes Vernetzen und Zusammenkommen von technikinteressierten FLINTA-Personen. Dabei ist im Wesentlichen nur wichtig, dass ihr interessiert seid, nicht, dass ihr Expert:innen seid.
Kommt gern vorbei und helft dabei, unseren lokalen Hackerspace durch eure Anwesenheit schöner und diverser zu machen

@zenmaya well ig
- name of event
- place
- time
are the most important pieces of info. addresses are localized, inferring januar to be january shouldn't be a stunt and the i guess the time is also managable
-
@star actually im also missing what it is, flinta day of what? /gen
-
@zenmaya i considered explaining the flinta acronym but then i was like
no that acronym is just the same in english. they'll figure it out :3 -

@zenmaya flinta day means throwing out all cis endo men from the space and then filling it with flinta individuals to chill and talk and idk do stuff, have fun, connect :3 -
@zenmaya ah okay, makes sense!
these are all valid points. i guess if you want to keep the information density, you'd be best off translating the entire thing instead, and posting two versions. this poster is a re-imagining of the one that was previously used, and i think it is an improvement in lots of areas, but absolutely not perfect, especially as i do not have a degree in... whatever the degree for UX/UI design is called. but thanks to people like you giving honest feedback, i can take this info, iterate, and make something better and better again

And how should one figure out what it might mean if one is not deeply into queer feminist terminology, even more so in a different language?
I see people asking what "FLINTA" means all the time. So if it's used, I think it would be good to explain – for the audience it should address, for everyone it doesn't, for non (native) German speakers and to reduce ambiguity in general ^^
(Which is also one of the issues I have with the acronym) -

@fugi @zenmaya well, sorry for being even more pedantic, HOWEVER COMMA, the word "female" has multiple definitions, both in the dictionary and in common, everyday language use.
female (sex) does, indeed, translate to "weiblich".
female (tech) usually refers to the hollow counterpart of a connector. it'd be silly to assume that it'd mean anything other gender related, although, obviously, the word has its meaning from an (outdated, as we all are painfully aware) sex-based definition.
female (animal) would most likely translate to something like "Weibchen".
and, last but not least, female (woman) is also a correct and apparently frequently used way to translate "Frau". -
@star @zenmaya Not if they identify as a man. If a person is a cis endo man, and gnc, they would not fall under FLINTA, strictly speaking. Whether that is the intention (of e.g. event organizers) would be a question worth asking. IMO it leads to the conclusion that FLINTA is not a very useful term to use.
