Hacker News is global and English-only

Hacker News is global and English-only

Niin sinä luulet. Liegst falsch, mon cher.

Some things in this life are supposed to be diverse but they are not really :(

Would you like 90% of the posts on this site to be in languages you don't understand?

Again it is not the point. English is not my native language and I have no problem in using it... but if I am replying to someone I know their own language and would like to use that (with just them) I shouldn't be forced not to do that.

Then privately message them. Public networks are not meant for that.

I will take this as an insult, thanks.

yeah, I don't speak any other languages fluently but I also find that sentiment disgusting and reductive. use whatever language you want, wherever you want.

What happened to “social networks are private property and can moderate content however they want”?

Hugs to you.
