the point of the community is to avoid speaking english and to post translations to english only in spoilers in any post or comment.

any person with any language can post on any topic, article, etc. not in english on this comm.

any person that speaks a language other than english can become a mod of the comm.

Honestly it would be really fun to develop a "Hexbearnese" in a similar way as Viossa, if you've heard of that. Viossa is this whole pidgin language that emerged among a group of conlangers chatting or video calling in a Skype/Discord group for ten years, where the rules were basically 1) Don't speak English and 2) If you're understood, you're speaking correctly.

There's already a Hexbear dialect. Bazinga, treats, amerikkka, etc. complex ideas compressed into singular abstractions

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Hexbear dialect is actually hieroglyphics obama-prism

That is part of why I thought it would be an interesting idea, that and the great number of emojis.

I actually love this idea, very funny. I think it would end up somewhere between Maoist Standard and Simlish.

"Hexbearnese" was supposed to be a pun on Béarnese but honestly "Tankese" is a really good name too.

If we want languages other than English to flourish we must start with having pronoun options that don't lock you into English-language gender signifiers by default.

¿Y para qué excluirte en una comunidad aparte? Obligalos a que la curiosidad los lleve a aprender tu idioma

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

perhaps, but i think most people see this as an 'english' site and to make a space where that is definitively untrue (and inclusive of all languages) will help get rid of this notion and help people pick up bits of other languages. Maybe if certain languages are very frequent they can make their own comms later.

Por qué no ambos? Tener espacios seguros no implica excluirse

Ich will keinem Menschen der Qual aussetzen, die deutsche Sprache lesen zu müssen. Es ist minimal besser als französisch.
