Bonjour. I was native english but like to read in french, however for me it’s slower to write, so I'm less likely to reply. I think we should assume more tolerance of mixed languages within discussions, that way we would see how much diversity is out there.
Actually most kids in the world - not just in Europe - grow up multilingual - , as in most of India, Africa etc. there are different local and national languages, and often mixed parents. The anglosphere is the exception, not the rule. I think the biggest challenge for the fediverse is to break out beyond Europe + North-america (+Japan - but that community is also a separate bubble), to do that we have to solve this issue.
By the way it helps to select 'scaled' as default algorithm, to see more of the smaller communities. But it would be nice to be able to blend discussion from communities from different instances relating to same (or similar) news item.
Merci pour ton message, très intéressant!
You indeed have a point about multilingual being the norm on other continents. Hopefully that is slowly going to change with the newer generations more exposed to other languages.
Au Québec, we already parlent franglais donc ce n'est pas a problem for nous! 😉
Par contre faut pas dire weekend ! Ça, c'est interdit !
