When I was considering which instance to join, being able to write messages in different languages was a priority. English-centrism seems to me to be a lack of perspective towards the multilingual society in which we live.

@victorvicpal @mairin It’s nothing to do with a lack of perspective. It’s far more mundane than that. It’s actually to do with moderation, it’s explained here - hub.fosstodon.org/why-fosstodo

hub.fosstodon.orgWhy Fosstodon Is English OnlyAn explaination as to why Fosstodon is an English only instance.

@kev Thank you for the explanation. I can see that it was a difficult decision and my comment had no perspective on the specific situation of this instance. My sincere apologies.
On the other hand, I understand that people might want to migrate their accounts if for them writing in other languages is important.

@victorvicpal @mairin absolutely, we totally get that, and no need to apologise. I just wanted to let you guys know that we did put a lot of thought into this decision.

Mairin, if you do decide to move away, we will still love you, and Fedora. 🙃

Sorry about the “warning”. 99% of the time it’s more of a”reminder”, but there’s no mechanism for that in Masto when it comes to managing reports.
