Loud Reminder:

Queer Mastodon was on this platform before Techbro Mastodon.

Stop fucking erasing us.

((and then asking where we are))

@thefishcrow im glad i follow the right people that i don't see this

also i literally never look at anything but my home

@Gaypow theres some stuff in my mentions about how new articles complelty erase queer mastodon in the article, and it was like that in the first place

im just so fucking tired

@Gaypow like a year ago when stuff was written, both queer mastodon and also the spanish and french waves were forgotten

im also still pissed with the language filter

@thefishcrow language filter?

@Gaypow https://cybre.space/media/_uvIolr7UnJVeIZGV7Q

@thefishcrow thats weird why would someone need that? i mean i guess i see that IDK i like seeing french on my timeline

IDK IM DUMB

@Gaypow @thefishcrow also how does it even work? Language detection is HARD and even Twitter gets it wrong a lot

Articles about mastodon are always like “neat idea but how will they monetize it?! No VC will ever fund a platform like this!” or techbros complaining about mastodon working as intended (giving a voice to people who aren’t them).

@fluffy i dont know since im not actually a programmer!

@thefishcrow I wonder if it just assumes things based on the locale of the instance, which is just plain wrong.

But yeah I guess it’s so hard to be an American who gets reminded there are non-English speakers on the Internet.
