I feel really bad about this decision, but we've decided to make Mindly.Social an English only server.

Due to the issues with moderating other languages and people unable to filter the languages they understand, we will only be allowing English on our server for the foreseeable future.

If this new change impacts you, please work to move your account to another server at this time.

We apologize to those impacted, but it's not viable for us to continue down the current path we are on.

I truly feel awful for this decision, but it's not fair to everybody else if we ignore reports and hope for the best.

Between the massive influx of users this past 2 weeks that has generated way more reports than since the server opened, and the huge increase in politically focused discussions, I'm just not equipped to moderate a global server.

In the past 12 hours the Local timeline was just overwhelmed with languages I don't read, and I realized this is going to end badly if unmoderated. 😞

@KuJoe You shouldn't feel bad about this decision. You're doing it for the right reasons and that is taking moderation of your server instance seriously. When one of your posts came across my feed, I'll never forget clicking on your profile and feeling warm and fuzzy that an instance admin had my community's back as an ally. You're making the right decision, regardless if you get any negative reactions, you're keeping people safer from online harassment, plain and simple. Thank you
