I come across French speakers a lot more often than Spanish speakers online, despsite the fact that Spanish speakers outnumber the French more than 5-to-1.*

I wonder why that is 🤔

*(According to WolframAlpha, worldwide there are 414 million Spanish speakers and 75 million French speakers)

@christiand this raises done interesting questions, which I think are actually important: what social networks are popular in the global south? What is the fediverse missing that would increase its uptake in those areas? I don't know how to find these answers, but maybe someone I follow does.

From what I've seen in the #MastoCensus so far, the number of Mastodonians who speak French (24%) and the number who speak Spanish (21%) are almost tied
