I notice this especially with my Norwegian learning. People are rude, call me names, or make fun of me on Reddit for using the wrong word or “en” vs “et” or using a direct translation because I don’t know how they say it in Norwegian, like saying somethng like «Ingen av bedriften din!» instead of «Dette er ikke din sak» (according to the casual version of Bing Translate) whereas a Norwegian-speaking Fediverse member would just say something like “You’re doing good, but it’s actually _____.”


the big thing about lemmy is that it’s actually possible to have communities with proper moderation, where the mods nuke shitheads from orbit and aren’t sent to the shadow realm for banning nazis
We just have to, y’now, actually do that, which is the hard part.
