I FUCKING HATE MANUAL LANGUAGE TAGGING WHY DO FEDERATED SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES THINK IT'S THE USER'S OBLIGATION TO TELL THEM WHEN THEY AREN'T SPEAKING THE “DEFAULT” LANGUAGE

‪say what you will about the accuracy of twitter's language detection, as an ACTUALLY BILINGUAL PERSON i have fucking had it with your terrible manual tagging systems that treat SPEAKING MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE as an exotic use case like we aren't HALF THE FUCKING PLANET‬

friends, for once, this is not about twitter, and not about just the fediverse. this is an everything-but-twitter special edition post! bsky and fedi users unite! the only thing you have to lose is anglophones' comfort!

‪oh my fucking god dude if your metadata system is so obnoxiously painful to actually use correctly THEN YOUR DATA ISN'T WORTH SHIT BECAUSE IT'S USUALLY WRONG‬

literally just use a fucking machine learning model to classify the language of posts please i fucking beg you i can't stand this you are putting meta words in my meta mouth please why why why why why why

‪I LOVE ACCIDENTALLY TAGGING TWENTY FUXKING TWEETS AS BEING IN SWEDISH OR GERMAN WHEN THEY WERE ACTUALLY IN ENGLISH BECAUSE I REMEMBERED TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE BUT NOT CHANGE IT BACK‬

‪sorry everyone i am probably a bit sleep-deprived-manic BUT THE RAGE BURNS IN ME it is very bad‬

LITERALLY TAGGING EVERY POST AS EN_US WOULD BE LESS BAD IF YOU'RE GONNA ALSO OPT PEOPLE INTO LANGUAGE FILTERING THE ENTIRE WORLD OF HUMAN FUCKING EXPERIENCE AT LEAST EVERYONE KNOWS ENGLISH UNITED STATES ISN'T REAL

‪screams ok i will stop ranting about how every fucking monolingual english speaker should never be permitted to design interfaces ok i will stop now i will go and feel the wonderful chill of the autumn night for a bit sorry. i'm right tho.‬
