Hi @vocalfriespod.bsky.social ! Thanks for the Makaton episode. The storyline about restricting it with patents and trademarks made me quite angry. I am not a lawyer, but I feel these things shouldn't apply to languages. The Blissymbols system has a similar controversy—you may want to look into it.

באנגלית, כן? אני יכול לנסות לערוך, אבל רק אם אשוכנע בעזרת מקורות חיצוניים אמינים שזאת באמת טעות. בערכים על נושאים שנויים במחלוקת דורשים מקורות יותר מהרגיל, ובערכים על המזרח התיכון דורשים מקורות בריבוע (וטוב שכך).

Code depends on English—for reasons that are entirely unnecessary at a technical level.

Hi @gretchenmcc.bsky.social ! Maybe I'm imagining it, but I have a vague recollection that you wrote once that the syntax of Wikipedia is a multilingual programming language, because some keywords can be relatively easily translated to other (human) languages. Could you point to that post? Thanks!

I've started a spreadsheet of notable folks/orgs who've completed their exit from X (no dual-posting), and where they've landed among the new platforms (Mastodon/BlueSky/Threads). I'm personally only active on the fediverse, but I hope this is useful for folks on here as well! bit.ly/eXit
