Can we consider degenerating from maga.place and hilariouschaos.com?

I can’t actually edit my post, so my typo remains. Thanks, autocorrect, you fuck.
On the plus side, your mistyped question is still accurate: it is conceivable that you'll be turning into a degenerate if your instance is maga.place.
If you can't edit your post, that's on your app, it works fine through the website and other apps.
It requests that I change my language on the web interface, and doing so would effectively dismiss 99% of lemmy. I’m fine with looking a little foolish to include others
I just tried it on an older post and I just ignored the language setting and it worked fine. Is that not the case for you?
Unless someone else has the same language set, they won’t be able to see this. The percentages for users are supposed to be something like 2% English, 5% other, 93% undefined. I can’t exactly go for a discussion with 2% of Lemmy.
All users should have both undefined and their language(s) selected. I have both and see all. But it's also community dependent. Perhaps this one isn't set to both?
This. The page even mentions why you should never deselect Undefined; it's basically the default and most users won't actually tag a specific language in their posts.
Iirc this will be streamlined or at least less confusing with Lemmy 1.0?
You can select multiple languages. I have english, spanish, and undefined. Just hold ctrl down when you click the languages you want and they will be selected together.
omg, there are languages?! TIL… Thank you.
You're on threads though. Why would it matter to you? FYI, threads is a horrible place to hang, not only because you could've edited your typo here on sh.itjust.works. You should be asking your instance.
But I am asking my instance. :(
Your username says you're on threads. Are you a user here too sometimes?

JFC, that's fucking hilarious. You totally got me.
I realize that I should avoid engaging in chicanery while attempting to spur change, but I couldn’t help myself. That’s my nickname you’re seeing. Click my profile to see my username
Yeah, it's funny, but I did downvote this post because I thought you were threads.
Edit: Also, I don't know if it's part of your shtick, but you can edit your post.
Totally understandable, I don’t blame you in the least
Just wanted to point out that this is the first post from a threads account I've seen.
Where have you seen a post by a threads user? I’m pretty sure your instance degenerated from them before they even implemented activitypub
Ah, you got me. I didn't realize @ was legal in display names.
And I never bothered checking what the result of the threads defederation was.
