@dyvulgativa Hi there. Just a warning, while right now we do allow you to post in any language you wish there is ongoing debate about restricting QOTO's post language to english only. It isnt enforced yet but there is a fair chance it may be enforced in the near future.
I just wanted you to be aware of this conversation before you get too established here just in case we begin enforcing it.
Well so far we havent actually made it a rule, all languages are welcome, and we may never.
The issue isnt so much about tolerance as it is about our ability to moderate and build a community. We dont have moderators who can read every language and it has made it impossible to mediate many instances in the past.
On top of that we arent a general instance, we are an instance for STEM collaboration, a community can only thrive if they communicate with each other. General instances are more suited for multi-language.
Finally, the discussion around language is one that the entire community has a voice in. We hae a discourse forum where any user can either support or object the idea and ultimately will shape what decision has been made. So far not a single user in our community has pressed us to keep all languages open.
At the moment we are still tolerant of all languages, so that shouldnt be an issue. But it is a topic that is being discussed and I cant garuntee it will remain that way. Regardless we will not delete established accounts in another language if/when the rule passes.
@freemo @Kurarita @dyvulgativa I know I'm a nobody, but I can testify and endorse Dyvulgativa. It's an account meant to divulge scientific content in threads. :)
thank you but im not worried about his account at all. I just wanted him to be aware of the situation since it would effect him and so he can voice his opinion on it if he wishes.
His account is welcome here.
@freemo @dyvulgativa
Ok. Doc
...looking for instance with linguistic tolerance
