How am I supposed to donate to a project that forces me to select the language at the end of each post?

Fucks sake, is it that hard to have a dropdown under settings for the default language?

And to be fair, what's the point? The people running the biggest instances will eventually sell all their user's data to train LLMs anyways. There's no guarantee they won't.

Since all instances mirror comments on subscribed communities you could simply create your own instance, leech it all and sell to LLMs. No need to go to the trouble of hosting a large instance.

Or that.

There is a language setting. Also, you don't have to select a language, it's optional.

The people running the biggest instances will eventually sell all their user’s data to train LLMs anyways.

Pure speculation, no evidence.

See you don't know what you're talking about:

I've my languages selected yet there's no option for a default language.

@TCB13 @CowsLookLikeMaps I sympathise, but perhaps they could fix that and many other issues if they had more funding. If it was already perfect, they would have less need for funding, I suppose.
