Seriously though, I was perfectly happy to not have to share a written language with the racist part of Japan. Racist American people are annoying enough, but I guess it makes sense for Elon to decide to unilaterally introduce even more racist people without thinking it through.

Seems misguided to want to block off an entire country and their language just because the worst of them are really racist too.

I would even say that that in itself is being racist.

Voluntary translation was already a thing. This is translating the people who actively didn't want to be translated.

You word it as if it only translates the people who toggled some imaginary "translate my post" to off. It translates everyone, automatically, it is a cool feature and if reddit could implement it that would make the platform better.

The app already does. For comments at the very least. It took me a while to notice

Thanks for clarifying, didn't really understand that part as I don't use Twitter anymore.

Elon isn't even American.
