Despite the English-only policy being removed, I don't see a lot of multilingual posts anyway, I wonder why?

Why do you not do it? Feel free to share other reasons.

It baffles me the amount of people still doing everything they can to guilt shame the instances that will not defederate from the sewing site.

Is that place abusive or harming? Sure. Then what about the people there who won't get to know your safe space instance because your posts can't even reach them?

Why is it always the nuclear option anyways? Why create an echo chamber yet again?
