So this is not just a text-only social network, it is also an English-only social network.


Really, as long as other people make text-only social networks for other languages, maybe that's a good thing. I'm not sure that having all languages on one social network really buys the user anything (esp. since they can switch to other social networks for other conversations).

It buys the company running the social network something, if they're trying to have literally billions of users. But I'm not sure that's a good thing for the users, either.


So if I want to post something in a combination of English and Hungarian and German, for my fairly large set of friends who speak all three, which network should I use?


There's something to be said for greatly simplifying moderation.
