Gregory's ServerNew blog post! In this one, I express some thought on a very topical (/s) subject of foreign languages on Mastodon.

@kytta So I'm not the only one! I thought I was going crazy. I keep seeing posts in my feed that aren't English, though I've specifically told #Mastodon that I only want English content. I'm so frustrated by all the posts I can't read that I've taken to muting any profile that I come across with non-English content. It's not that I don't want to read them, it's that I literally can't (and no, I don't like using 'translation'). So I really hope they give an option to filter the home feed too... |
@kytta Well said indeed. I find myself not wanting to filter out the language of a post. I want to see it all, but I suppose in reason. I says this because I've found some really interesting discussions or recommendations in other languages. I rely on the translation. Though I do admit I cannot assume it is correct, yet I still find it beneficial.
