@Sandra You are awesome for doing so. Like my friends who watch Fox News or follow Q accounts on Facebook. I can't. Wreaks havoc on my blood pressure. Cause I'm an old fart.

@TerryHancock Sorry about that Terry. I'm over in Arkansas and the power has been off and on for about two hours. Never off for more than a few seconds. Some pretty nasty spring storms blew through here.

Robots! ๐Ÿค– I have no problem with the concept of automated posts. Most of the time I enjoy clicking through and gaining insight into information I'm interested. What bugs me are the six, eight, maybe 10 posts in a row - back-to-back. Why not space them out by 15 minutes each? When they are grouped together - hijacking my feed - I'm less likely to read. I guess I could simply unfollow the account.

@koherecoWatchdog @trishalynn I'm just saying the app should translate in both directions. That way no one is left out. But yes, you are right. Until there is an automatic/AI type fix - posts should be made in the original posters language. Although, I often miss out on non-English posts because my app of choice (Husky) doesn't have translation. I'll need to switch to all browser-based Mastodon. Edge does a great job of on screen one-button translation.

@stux I voted default because it sets the language to the user's device default. Just my opinion - I could be wrong.

@rayshadows Good for you! I'm glad it worked out. Certain groups here in the US are trying to make it harder for people to make the change. I don't know what they are so afraid of. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป

@rayshadows How did this go? Are you still in Brazil? What are the local hurdles when making the change legal?

@trishalynn In my opinion, I like it when posters pre-translate a post. That makes it easier to read when scrolling through my timeline. It's also nice if the original language is posted as well. That way I can use the FediLabs app to translate it just in case something is "lost in translation".

I'm hoping eventually we will have an app with the option to auto-translate. That way a user's timeline is always readable for the individual user.
