Heeey #Masto folk! Wondering if you guys can recommend me a good instance I can move to (must support Mastodon and run in Mastodon clients, but doesn't have to be Mastodon).
I find that fosstodon doesn't exactly suit my needs anymore, and I'm also thinking of moving to a much much smaller instance, especially:
Bonus: Tagalog is based off Malay, but a lot of the vocabulary is Spanish spelt in an American-ish way, and many speakers use Taglish because straight Tagalog leads to very deep Shakespeare-like words.
Tagalog is one hell of a language. I'm guessing the structure is similar to Malay, but I can't understand Malay at all. Spanish makes 0 sense to me but I can tell you pick out random words with 0 context nor sense.
I always like to compare it to English. Did you know English is a Germanic language? The most common English words are Germanic, but we probably can't understand Germanic because only the structure is Germanic - other words might come from Greek, Old French or Latin. Ig it helps us pick out random words from a romance language like French but not understand the structure.
Oh and yes I just swallowed this from some Insta account but I love this fun fact.
Bro this show on Netflix, The Trust: a Game of Greed, really picked (mostly) the wrong women.
Like ok girl you guys celebrate being girls and are against misogyny but uh... there's a difference between misogyny and you being an a-hole, being randomly picked last because someone had other thoughts in their head (not just you) and being pissed off about it to the point you hold a grudge.
I kinda hope to get an account on the waitlist of alpha.polymaths.social, but polyglot.city seems nice enough. I am in no way either a polymath nor a polyglot (well unless you count Filipino and English and class-smart French) but they seem best suited to my interests.
Hey I like FOSS and what it stands for, but I'm not super into it soooo. I searched up 'linguistics' and saw polyglot.city and it looked cool enough.
