Liberty 👺 Beta is a user on social.targaryen.house. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.

If people on Mastodon could stop complaining about the language used by other users and understand that we live in a multilingual world, that'd be great.

Liberty 👺 Beta @LibertyBeta

@BrunoLefevre People are complaining about that? How odd and kinda strange.

I mean, look at me. I'm in the US on a german instance.

@LibertyBeta Yeah. Weirdly I've never seen that kind of complains on other websites.
I understand that if you follow someone and he starts tooting in another language it might annoy you, but as I see it the federated timeline is supposed to reflect the hole community, its multilinguality included.
So comments like "please French people, don't toots

@LibertyBeta (involuntarily pressed toot) ... Don't toot in public" are not welcome.

@BrunoLefevre So in other words, you have a request for some basic social mores to be observed in the federated timeline(Aka public).

I can see that, and kinda agree. Its not perfect, but its good enough I think.

@LibertyBeta I think everyone should be able to toot publicly what he wants, in the language he wants.
(As long as it's respectful, of course, like any other human interaction.)
