Awesome people talking in Esperanto.

People are awesome.
Yes, I used to hang out with Esperantists for a while. But time has shown that this language is more dead than alive. The only thing that has been useful to me since then is the knowledge of common European word roots. Thanks to EO, I literally know what words I'm seeing for the first time in my life mean or can mean.
You should see our secret shitposting societies on Telegram.
Esperanto is very much alive. It's sadly not as alive as many of us would want.
I think even in the '00s it was more alive than it is now. The Internet hasn't done much to help Esperanto's popularity grow.
It's magical to scroll through your feed and read all the notes without realizing that most of them are from people with completely different languages. This becomes more evident when you use some other client.
The quality of LibreTranslate translation is terrible, and DeepL is very expensive.
Plot twist, they translate English to Esperanto with AI to communicate.
