Yeah, I acknowledge that.

It’s just there’s a concern that any FOSS project that developed by non-English speaker will “force taken” by another “Western” maintainer. If we want fediverse to be truly inclusive, language barrier is something should be taken care for further maintreamization.

Maybe we can learn from English Asia community (usually on Facebook group) that already practicing multi-language community, where each people can speak their own language and still properly moderated and connected.

I see. At least making them optional is good, especially for political context.

For creator related stuff, I can see instance like Misskey.design community benefitting from this tracker.

Having info “65 people visit this site from Lemmy.world” doesn’t seem to be that invasive tho.

I can see blogger and other creator utilize this to connect with community.

I wish a lot of Western fediverse community helps Misskey dev in documentation and development.

It’s sad that sometimes they don’t want help Misskey community to globalize, and just soft-fork and even hard-forking the software. Misskey community is desperately need global contributor.

The thing is, sometimes the immigrant are not corporate. They’re just groups of average people that cut all the protected forest to make a new home and uncontrolled killing of animals.

They don’t respect local rules at all.

This don’t really happen in the West, but it can happen in several parts of Asia or Africa.

That’s why ethnocentrism ended prevalent in these area.

Twitter can reach various community from variety of region, like English Asia Twitter.

Entire fediverse is still mostly Western community.

I still don’t get actual “left” and “right” definition by Westerner.

For example, people that support native people to be protected from encrouchment of their forest, as well as unmitigated immigration that will drive out them will considered both “left” and “right” side from Westerner.

Some Westerner also often assume their solution of problem is “the best” while all I can see is further division of society.

Please elaborate.

Both are just corrupt parties that doesn’t want to help people.

“Left” or “Right” grouping is Western centric tho.

From my perspective as Indonesian, it’s weird that Westerner lump politics into separate group instead working together for a solution that caters to everyone.

NeoDB itself is a clone of Bangumi, a Chinese media tracker site.

Bangumi mainly focuses on ACG culture (similar to anime-manga but not Japanese centric), combining movie, TV series, music, games, animation, and comic.

I guess, Epic Games sales cuts seems attractive for multiplatform games with microtransaction made with Unreal Engine…

Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.

All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.

Might as well grab it before gone.

Hashtag is only usable for small contained community. Some instance already too big that hashtag is not work.

Especially multi language instance. Some word or phrase on hashtag can have multiple meaning depending on the language.

The point is, Lemmy, Reddit, and other related platform are overwhelmingly American.

People often just assume things with American mindset. Especially for hard topic like religious harmony, ethnic discrimination, immigration, etc.

Every social media is collective of thousands of social bubbles.

While I advocating for federated SNS, I personally rarely encounter any toxicity on internet except when I interact with westerner (especially Americans). I carefully choose who I follow and interact, and the algorithm are trained with my interaction to put content that not toxic and relevant to me.

On fediverse alone, I have multiple account that delivers entirely different social experience. My English mastodon.social account that just slightly touch Western politics are thousands times toxic. Even my personal regional political discourse feed on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook are not as toxic as Western politics on fediverse.

Instead of being “bad,” I consider ActivityPub as not being mature yet.

Other internet protocol like HTTP or email are also really basic on its early inception, but it later adding so many features and capabilities to be more modern and flexible.

Give it enough time, and ActivityPub will be mature enough for varied use cases.

At least for Japanese users, they want to see content they love from creators relevant to them. Creators = illustrator, comic artist, photographer, cosplayer, writer, etc.

Creators want a stable platform that allows them to widen their reach and potentially making more money.

Mastodon at the moment are tend to be hostile against creators that wants to monetize their work. Not to forget, the creator you want to follow are on defederated or blocks your instance for random admin drama.

But hey, at least fediverse software like Misskey actually trying to serve these community. Like allowing community ads (like promoting indie comics, vtuber, or social event) and trying to be stable by resolving any potential instance problem together with zero drama. Misskey community also often have tendency to “decoupling from Western tech supremacy”

I recall it was just student that do script attack.

Some Misskey instance like Misskey.design, Misskey.io, and Misskey.id also got their attack several months ago.

It even reach mainstream news outlet: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/20/spam-attack-on-twitter-x-rival-mastodon-highlights-fediverse-vulnerabilities/

Sadly, most of English instance use Misskey-fork, which tends to be discontinued after a while…

Not even trying to contribute back to Misskey, especially as they desperately need more English contributor.
