I’m doing the same, I rarely ever have to use it unless compelled to by work or simply a lazy site with less compatibility for anything beyond google.

For anyone who wants to try here you go.

Source article I think

Exactly.

I’ll never forget the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests and how the CCP responded. And how so many people of Wuhan suffered because of them, not to mention all the whistleblowers that are still missing.

They don’t really aim for them either, it’s not like most young people would go lobby them in their preferred way(money).

At best it’ll create another spin-off like the hundreds that already exist on the app/play stores.

They’ll probably ask for a referral, it’s legal in 48 states.

They don’t care about every corporation because they work with those corporations. It’s because it’s a foreign power that started doing the same shit they’ve been doing for decades now. None of these countries & corporations deserve any sort of sympathy or support from any sane individual.

Chinese TikTok is Douyin & it’s not banned there. They wouldn’t ban something that they can use for control or else WeChat wouldn’t exist now.

Woops sorry mate, too late.

I agree with your take on the corpo dystopia issue and would prefer other solutions instead of this but the sort of patients being served definitely need some significant support.

Mutahar made a video about this that gives us a rough outline of where we are at with this technology, and I agree with his opinion about using eye trackers instead of brain implants for the sort of feature they seem to provide.

I tried testing with a new account on ds9.lemmy.ml aswell and it seems to be working well. Tried 2 different languages and both showed up correctly without touching anything in the settings,

Im removing this as part of the PR to set new user languages from accept-language header, it doesnt make sense anymore with that.

^This is a good idea.

Also from the settings “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.” comes off as if you need to select it to view things while it’s actually a language filter to only show the selected languages only. Renaming it from “Languages” to “Languages filter” and rewording the warning may help further.

Linking this helpful comment for anyone else confused by this.

Agreed.

For people who wish to know which instances are federated/defederated with Threads check here https://fedipact.veganism.social/

It sounds like it’s working as intended. I’ll mark the OP as solved then, thank you for all your help.

I’m not very savvy but I tried it on lemmy.world since lemm.ee is taking awhile to confirm the new account.

There’s another entry for discussion_languages under my_user but it’s entirely empty.

The JSON goes upto 183. Another screenshot of the settings for the new test account (none of the other languages are selected by default either).

Should I this move this thread to support? I thought since lemmy.world and lemm.ee both have this issue it would be better to post it on the lemmy development community.

I see, thank you for cross checking with me.

Woah thanks! This should make things much better.

Maybe that’s an instance-dependent thing.

I can’t check all instances so I suppose that maybe possible but I’ve tried 4 and each one has been the same, but since you hadn’t had this issue I suppose I can chalk it up to bad luck. Still needs fixing though, I’m not the only one who faced this and lemmy.world and lemm.ee both have this issue, 2 of the most popular instances according to fedidb.

It’s interesting because a lot of non-English speaking communities complain about users downvoting their content because they don’t understand it

From what I understand after reading that thread, a significant portion of users are downvoting just because they don’t like seeing any other language than their preferred one(English?). But that’s a stupid way of going about it, just message the posters to let them know about tagging it with it’s proper language or just block the user. Pointlessly downvoting everything you see won’t get the message accross.
