 My people left for this is an echochamber. Nobody to argue with, they are way too soaked in twitter toxicity or dedicated to spreading some ancap thoughts there.
And I don't bother to onboard people, because of czech language. It's a very few of us here and we can't divide posts to two languages comfortably, so🤷🏻‍♀️

 Hey friend - what client do you use? Some of them have fairly good translation functionality built in!

 Hi, auto translation is unfortunately out of question with czech. It's very complicated language even when written absolutely without slang. It might work for plain and very boring short notes, but usually misses the point or humor completely, also writes nonsense when translated from en to cz. I'd like to have the option to correct the translation myself straight away or a choice to write basically one note in more "branches" of languages.
I think Twitter used to offer me which languages I want to use, then auto translated it in windows below as I wrote it and I could go through that right away and correct it in four languages at once.🤔

 Hey friend. Didn’t realize Czech was such a complex language. One of my first bosses was Czech, but I didn’t have many opportunities to study, lol

That’s a cool concept around real-time translation. Was it a developer tool or some sort of plugin or something?
