  1. Lotte

    Frida, schau mal! Ich habe gestern ein Foto vom Garten gepostet, und jetzt hat der Beitrag hundert Kommentare.

    Translation

    Frida, look! Yesterday I posted a photo of the garden, and now the post has a hundred comments.

  2. Frida

    Translation

    A hundred? Who on earth commented?

  3. Lotte

    Fast alle kenne ich. Aber ein Benutzername ist mir fremd, und von ihm kam eine seltsame Nachricht.

    Translation

    I know almost all of them. But one username is new to me, and a strange message came from it.

  4. Frida

    Translation

    What kind of message?

  5. Lotte

    Translation

    "Lovely garden! Where exactly do you live?" I got suspicious straight away.

  6. Frida

    Translation

    Rightly so! Whatever you do, don't reply. Is your profile actually public or private?

  7. Lotte

    Öffentlich - für alle.

    Translation

    Public - for everyone.

  8. Frida

    Translation

    Then your privacy is at risk. I'd block them and only publish things for friends from now on.

  9. Lotte

    Translation

    OK. Data protection is important, but on social networks I often forget it.

  10. Frida

    Translation

    And honestly: how high is your screen time, actually?

  11. Lotte

    Translation

    Five hours a day… Am I already addicted?

  12. Frida

    Ein bisschen. Lade heute nichts hoch, wir gehen offline in den Garten!

    Translation

    A little. Don't upload anything today, we're going offline into the garden!
