       It's not #FollowFriday but I have the most free time in my hands on Saturdays and Sundays, so here it goes. I feel like there's a sturdy community here on #Mastodon. I'm really a hermit but feel like I've found my place here.There are some people here from all over the world that I have never met IRL, but they feel still like a "family" in a sense. They are fellow humans who do not seem to prejudice and are kind towards other individuals. Just like it should be.@jcrabapple - IT professional, father, sysadmin from Virginia@ikkeT - Open source, Linux, cloud and automation nerd from Finland.@originalg - Stu, my man. Always cheering me up and making sure others are okay. A great dude, an engineer, the kinda guy I'd sit with coffee for hours if I were up to it.@WTL - WordPress hosting and security dude, filmmaker, runner, a mutual in many ways. Always humble towards others. And this guy is from Canada, how awesome is that?@AlderForrest - Engineer, metalhead, nerd. From Finland, obviously. A great guy I've get to know better during my time on the Fediverse. He runs Calckey!@GoatsLive - I really don't know anything about GoatsLive but if one's profile says "Spreading some love and happiness in an often difficult world", you know that's a keepsie. I've got only good things from this direction. Lots of love.@paul - Oh Paul. You remind me about my late father in so many good ways. Always kind comments, always there to talk with. He's an author, cloud consultant, Linux fan, began.@francis - A Norwegian/Brazilian IT Engineer, a runner. Always constructive and kind from my perspective.@valoisa - Someone I've get to know here, a person I imagine very hearty, considerate and fun! An introvert like me, exciting to talk to, great opinions, often inspiring.@minnamoira - We go way back in social media, I don't even remember how it started. Glad to see you here on the Fediverse. I can relate to the rough times, I hope you enjoy livin in Italy. Wish all the best and love.@rmattila74 - Another person I learned about more in here on the Fediverse. Nuke engineer retired due ALS. "Defined by the former, not by the latter" is brilliantly put. Thanks for letting me into your world and thank you for the accessibility improvements in my design. I appreciate everything you do here, don't stop spreading awareness and keep on focusing on important things that matter to you like energy.@mustikkasoppa My dear wife. I love you so much. :bunhdheart: There are a lot of more brilliant people out there, but these are the ones I want to namedrop at this moment.Peace & love and have a wonderful Saturday. :ablobcatheart:

       @rolle @jcrabapple @ikkeT @originalg @AlderForrest @GoatsLive @paul @francis @valoisa @minnamoira @rmattila74 @mustikkasoppa Honoured to be amongst such a fine community of people. Thank you Roni, for being a part of my day! I have many thoughts on my migration to #Mastodon, guess I should write them down and share them.

       @rolle Thanks for your kind words this morning! We just like spreading some sunshine with our goats and other animals here on the farm.

       @rolle @jcrabapple @originalg @WTL @AlderForrest @GoatsLive @paul @francis @valoisa @minnamoira @rmattila74 @mustikkasoppa Thanks for the nice words! Likewise, it's been a pleasure to follow your thoughts here. I noticed some followed me here now, beaware this server is bound to Finnish language, my English tooting comes from fosstodon.

       @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi @rolle @jcrabapple @originalg@sdf.org @WTL @AlderForrest @GoatsLive @paul @francis @valoisa @minnamoira @rmattila74 @mustikkasoppa ... from here, which is then bound to English only. A bit awkward, but perhaps easier to keep separation on languages 🙄 Or perhaps I should just move to one account....

       @ikkeT@fosstodon.org @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi @rolle @jcrabapple @AlderForrest @GoatsLive @paul @francis @valoisa @minnamoira @rmattila74 @mustikkasoppa How about you post in whatever language you want to? Translation here is generally pretty easy; the web client has a translate button as do most clients. I admit, I won't translater *every* post I see, but if I think it looks interesting, I'll do it, and I have something to contribute, use translation to post back in the language of origin.

       @WTL @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi @rolle @jcrabapple @AlderForrest @GoatsLive @paul @francis @valoisa @minnamoira @rmattila74 @mustikkasoppa The servers in question have it in their rules. Mastodontti -> only Finnish, Fosstodon -> only English. At the beginning I was looking for both open source and Finnish communities, so I ended up to these. I'd need to search for new home perhaps, which has looser terms. It hasn't bothered me enough yet to do so.

I *want* to see perspectives from people everywhere.

       @WTL  @ikkeT@fosstodon.org @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi @rolle@mementomori I think the language rules of one-language are sad and limiting. I even see korean (?) here sometimes. It is fascinating.

       @minnamoira @WTL @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi I think the reasoning in English native sites is solid. They say since they can't moderate what they don't understand, they rather deny it. I'm fine with that. In Finnish it's a bit different. There are enough people who understand English, so moderation would work. I knew the rule when I joined, so no pointing fingers to admins. I should do my workk and search home which works for the both.At the time I joined mastodontti was tempting as it was easy to find local chats

       @minnamoira @WTL @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi Also, the Finnish I write would likely not translate by the translation tools as I don't pay attention to write the book Finnish. So, so far it's been ok to have separate accounts.

       @WTL you live in Canada? How is it with English/French over there in mastodon?

       @ikkeT Canada's a weird one. The population about 18% of the population is English/French bilingual, and most of the French-speakers live in one province (Quebec).  I'm from Quebec myself, and speak both. One of the Canadian communities mstdn.ca has a bilingual moderation team like the mighty @Pheneatis (who is also in charge of translation). I can’t speak *specifically* to how many posts are in French, but I do see it regularly, even though I'm on mastodon.social.https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/official-languages-bilingualism/publications/statistics.html#a1

       @WTL @ikkeT Yes, we do our best on mstdn.ca to provide a safe and welcoming home to both English and French speaking people! But I know that a lot of French speaking people are on other francophone instances.

       @minnamoira @ikkeT@fosstodon.org @ikkeT@mastodontti.fi I can see the rationale for one-language servers; especially in the sea of English.
