Solution: Check your language settings in the web interface.
I have a weird bug when I visit [email protected] from jerboa:
Though when I visit anonymously through the web client the com is active: https://feddit.nl/c/[email protected]?dataType=Post&%3Bpage=1&%3Bsort=New
Until I log in, that empties all the content to the same level as in the app.
What is even going on? I blocked like 5 communist missionary users, but not 95% of a community.
The whole internationalization/localization shit it’s implicitly predicated on everyone in one geographic spot speaking exactly one and the same language.
It’s a fucked up 1815 ethnostate world view. We’ve had multiple world wars in our neck in the woods to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, the Anglos still don’t get it. Even supposedly progressive ones.
Internationalisation is hard and software engineers are trained to cut everything into database sized chunks imagined by their worldview. Dutch alphanumerical postcodes wreak havoc in German adress databasese, that shit is not limited to any nation.
The question is, how do we get non-software engineers included in the feedback cycles of development? Not by moving it to a Matrix or IRC server, that’s for sure.
