Wondering what the best practice would be on #mastodon for people talking in more languages.
I don't like to have my timeline spammed with languages I don't understand, so would avoid writing in another language here. So what, making another account? Would be useful to have "subchannels", like #peertube does, so that one may just follow my English posts.
Any thought on the matter? What would you consider the best practice here?
@arteteco The next release will have a proper timeline based language filter I hear. Should fix the problem. I temporarily silenced instances which dont speak any english. Once the new feature is released ill take those silences off.

I disagree on the point that "hate speech" speech needs moderation. It is of course disgusting and if it is ever witnessed it should be shunned and no one should act like it's acceptable. But I don't think that means the appropriate solution is global moderation when each individual has the power to choose their own moderation.

A wide-band phase shift circuit I just finished building. She ain't the prettiest, but she works!
These really cool new surface mount prototyping boards arrived today (they work for DIP/through-hole too). See my other post for my first project using it.
