So I'm realizing a big problem with allow non-englist posts in QOTO.., Me and the other mods ( @arteteco and @Surasanji ) cant moderate it proactively. We have to wait for reports and then still have trouble.
It hasnt been a problem yet but worries me.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
For the moment the best way to help is to report non-english posts asap and offer a translation when you do.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Thats the fear, relying on reports usually means its too late..
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Yea for most users they wont see languages they dont know. I am worried for the users who can understand it and might be seeing spam.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
The issue isnt limited to indian languages however. We have other languages used here as well.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Fair points, for now I prefer to rely on translations. But its tricky since it isnt automatic. Also tone and subtle context is important a lot of times.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
TL;DR Gargron, why not automatic translation in mastodon?
I am kinda surprised @gargron hasnt implemented this feature. I'd also be curious as to why if he is willing to share.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
I agree I have the same concern and I'm worried that may be flourishing in other languages where I cant really offer my usual guidance (like directing non-stem users to more relevant instances via suggestion)
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Its a good start I agree.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
I agree, I have no interest in enforcing all posts be STEM related, that would be harmful too. But I do wish to see people here who are either STEM professionals or at least wish STEM to be what they want to surround themselves with.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
@design_RG I think the key point there I agree with is the nature of the crowd formed. As long as everyone who joins is explicitly a STEM enthusiast as a central point of interest for them, that is enough.
But I see a lot of people who come here who have never made a single STEM related post and doesnt seem to comment much on STEM related topics. That's an issue.
To me if your bio lists a few STEM related interests, profression, or study that would be enough for me to say someone is a fit for the community.

@Ytrezar Well i think its because they dont pay attention. We are in the #1 spot on the server list duue to our growth % right now and i think most people just pick the first instace and dont read up on it. Moreover if they are posting in another language they probably ignore the bulk of the feed
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Agreed
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
@Ytrezar Thanks, I welcome any insights you might have on this, otherwise thank you for your input so far.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Agreed forumn is better.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Feel free to start it, we can edit. Along with any other threads you wsh to starty just for fun if you have any
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
I wish :)
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Either would do, moderation makes sense to me as it is a rule regarding moderation.
🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
@design_RG @johnlitt @arteteco @Surasanji Thanks so much
