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.
@freemo @arteteco @Surasanji Most languages can be translated automatically, and while not perfect, it should be good enough for initial screening process and identifying the potentially "bad" ones, I think. Then can first ask to the tooter for an explanation, and if they don't/can't cooperate ask the community.
Regarding waiting for reports being "too late", I think that's more of a growth issue, language is just another speed bump not a brick wall.
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.
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.
@freemo @arteteco @Surasanji hmmm... quick search for a browser plugin yielded nothing automatic... shame on UI
