If people on Mastodon could stop complaining about the language used by other users and understand that we live in a multilingual world, that'd be great.
@robinjanssens Jes. And language filters for the federated timeline.
But I like to see the multiculturality of the world, the Internet beautifully allows us that and it's a shame people are irritated by it.
@BrunoLefevre maybe this can be a good social experiment for #esperanto :)
@gozes My first account is actually a 100% esperanto account on mastodon.social. I'm actually here waiting for the instance to stabilize itself and get back tootinf there.
@BrunoLefevre nice I been learning esperanto on and off for about a year or so. don't get to use it a lot because I have no one to practice with. I'm the only speaker in PR
@gozes Twitter has an active community of esperanto speakers, some came to Mastodon. It's a good way of practicing.
@BrunoLefevre so how did you get in to Esperanto?
@gozes I liked the idea, and one day I decided to go ahead and learn it. At first I didn't practiced much, but more and more I started following, then participating in chats, and ultimately meeting other esperantists. Now I tweet and chat quite often, and I like it a lot. The community is really nice.
@gozes I invite you to follow me on RegxaArdeo@mastodon.social
@BrunoLefevre People are complaining about that? How odd and kinda strange.
I mean, look at me. I'm in the US on a german instance.
@LibertyBeta Yeah. Weirdly I've never seen that kind of complains on other websites.
I understand that if you follow someone and he starts tooting in another language it might annoy you, but as I see it the federated timeline is supposed to reflect the hole community, its multilinguality included.
So comments like "please French people, don't toots
@LibertyBeta (involuntarily pressed toot) ... Don't toot in public" are not welcome.
@BrunoLefevre So in other words, you have a request for some basic social mores to be observed in the federated timeline(Aka public).
I can see that, and kinda agree. Its not perfect, but its good enough I think.
@LibertyBeta I think everyone should be able to toot publicly what he wants, in the language he wants.
(As long as it's respectful, of course, like any other human interaction.)
@BrunoLefevre Didn't take long for the idiots to find our little slice of internet paradise.
@BrunoLefevre it would probably make sense for people to create language-based instances
