@vwbusguy @passthejoe @cloudguy I agree, and yet, they have said some things they absolutely should not have in good faith. I have witnessed it.

@vwbusguy @passthejoe @cloudguy They can be the most careful / respectful and still make mistakes they need to own.

@adamw @passthejoe It would really be better if everyone acted in good faith, and it's just not fair to keep pointing the finger at Red Hat when Red Hat has no desire to change things up and cause distress and brand damage to themselves for no good reason. Red Hat is not dumb. This is all in response to bad behavior. Behavior that should have stopped before it came to this. Those responsible know.

@jbowen @adamw It really helps to talk to people and not assume malice.

It's ok if I post in Irish as long as I hide it? How generous.

@mmu_man No excuse. If it's an open, volunteer, FOSS oriented community, you simply solicit volunteers in the needed languages. Instead of - in effect - telling an Irish speaker (of ALL languages) to stop speaking Irish and speak the Queen's tongue.

@mmu_man I already did. Multiple times. I am well aware of the intracacies of volunteer run projects, you could try googling me.

@mmu_man The wording in the email and in the policy blog post are definitely all their own. When I signed up in October 2022, I have no idea if I got the default policy text or not in the sign up flow.

I got an email warning from this server - after posting in Irish a number of times over the lifetime of my account here and other folks telling me that it is welcome - that my posts in Irish are *NOT* welcome on Fosstodon. Irish is a minority language not heard often, it is extremely important to me, and so this decision means this server is not a place for me. Sadly, despite my long career in FOSS.I might abandon this account and use mastodon.ie. TBD

I will be abandoning this account soon due to Fosstodon's unreasonable English-only policy.If you would like to continue following me, you can do so at @mairin@mastodon.ie If you also care about language rights and also seek a new home, some FOSS-friendly servers are:- https://floss.social- https://hachyderm.io (they have a no colonialism policy!)- https://social.coopSlán!

@kev @victorvicpal Hey Kev,would have been nice to get a "warning" or heads up about this some months ago when I started posting in Irish, look at my timeline, there is plenty of it.I have never caused any moderation issues on this server, I am a good citizen. Too bad that won't be considered.You need to rethink the phrasing of this email and policy. English is an ugly language w a cruel history.

@kev @victorvicpal So you choose to selectively enforce it? Allow someone to become comfortable over 11 months, then stab the knife?This is *not* in the spirit of FOSS at all. You need to improve your language and messaging at a bare minimum. My current position as-is w the status quo is that this is a colonialistic server. You need to do better.

@kev @victorvicpal I understand and recognize a lot of thought was put into this decision but IMO it is misguided and ignorant.It positions non-English language speakers (likely unintetionally but it still does) as being somehow more likely to post bad content needing moderation. It's not a practical consideration. It's inhumane, sorry.

@kev @victorvicpal I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone involved in FOSS (the vast majority of whom are not native English speakers) use this server with this handling of the issue.

@kev @victorvicpal This is an issue of humaneness. A person's language is a core piece of their identity.
