General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Should DU be an English Only site? [View all]Chathamization
(1,638 posts)I think General Discussion will remain mostly English because most people want to discuss things in English, but if we did become a polyglot group, I'd say the best thing to do would be to add English/Korean/German only forums for those who want it. That seems to make more sense than saying "most people don't want to post in English, so we need to force them to post in English."
Of course, this is only tangential to the insanity of the hide in question. Probably 4,999 out of 5,000 posts are in English already. It's extreme paranoid xenophobia to see a single post in another language and think, "They could be saying something offensive!" In fact, it's now making me wonder if people on the street are thinking the same thing when I talk in another language.
Hey guys, I'm going to post a string of random numbers: 3480280970234028493824981984984983208409283.
It could be code for profanity. Better hide this post.
