I think this (mine) was a bad argument, but I have a better one now: why hasn't this language stuff ever been a problem on Twitter?

I guess I assumed twitter has a lot of fancy algorithms for their curated content
Contents powered by algorithms + click to translate?
Contents are not powered by algorithms. They literally show stuff from people you follow. My timeline has most posts in English about Bitcoin, some posts in Portuguese from Brazilians, and sometimes Turkish, Italian and Russian from Bitcoin people that decided to interact with their fellow countrymen. I just skip these weird languages. Twitter does nothing to prevent me from seeing them.
it doesn't prevent it from your follows. it does prevent it from the twitter general content it seems. like if you sign up for new account and have no follows you will only see your own language.
I guess i think its higher signal if you can filter which language you see from your follows (especially if you normally skip those weird languages)
