Frankie SaxxIt's now 'Anglo linguistic privilege & cultural dominance threatened! Attack the French!' O'clock.
Just waiting for 'This is the internet, we speak ENGLISH here, comprende?'
#mastodrama alert; popcorn at the ready
Frying Dutchman@frankiesaxx Well it's kind of frustrating to not be able to understand half of the federated timeline, and almost everyone understands English. I'm not saying everyone should speak English, but it sure makes it easier to understand and connect with everyone

Many people on the internet speak English, but English speakers asserting cultural dominance and the right to push to the outside & marginalize non-English speakers is not okay.
People should be allowed to speak their own languages. Period. Without being complained about, shamed, or otherwise made to feel bad or as though they don't belong.
The public timelines are a shared space, that means sharing it with people who speak other languages.
. @Vonk and now you can pelt me with herring for all the SJW language in that post LOL
(But I do think linguistic diversity enhances the community, rather than detracts.)
