Well, this is confirmed.

This is one of the reasons why I was never against the English-only policy. Most people I follow are from #Fosstodon, and now, if they would want to write in a foreign language, I have no way to hide these posts, no matter the language.

New post editor in Tusky, the Mastodon client for Android. I am logged in from my other account on a German-speaking instance. The post is marked as being in German and contains German text saying: “Don’t pay attention to this post, I am testing stuff out…”

Back on Fosstodon, these are the settings for the languages displayed in “Public timelines”. The only language checked is English; German is definitely not checked.

In my “Home” feed on Mastodon, I still see the German post from the other account, even though it is written in a language I chose to not have being displayed to me.

@kytta debe ser muy doloroso y traumático tener que leer un post en un idioma que no sea el tuyo…
