    How am I supposed to donate to a project that forces me to select the language at the end of each post?

    Fucks sake, is it that hard to have a dropdown under settings for the default language?

    And to be fair, what’s the point? The people running the biggest instances will eventually sell all their user’s data to train LLMs anyways. There’s no guarantee they won’t.

      Since all instances mirror comments on subscribed communities you could simply create your own instance, leech it all and sell to LLMs. No need to go to the trouble of hosting a large instance.

        Or that.

        Majority of people in this world speaks two languages or more.

        And that’s exactly the point, I do too. However most of what I post is English and lemmy should have a “default post language” option to avoid that issue. I’m happy with changing the language to anything other than English on the 20% of the time I’m not writing in English however I’m not happy to have to pick English around 80% of the time. See the problem now?

      There is a language setting. Also, you don’t have to select a language, it’s optional.

      Pure speculation, no evidence.
