        Don’t forget what they said earlier

        I’m gonna just drop the truth nuke here so that I can get closer to my “banned from .ml award” quicker:

        As usual, people with a lot of hate towards .ml reveal themselves to be chauvinistic and racist. EVERY TIME. Probably going to make a stink over on yet another .world feudposting about .ml and crying about how much of a victim they are.

      why the de-facto world language isn’t widely available in such an amazing country

      have you considered why English is the “de-facto world language”? And therefor the context on “world”?

      I can and do speak to people from China, but in any case the propagation of English translations depends almost entirely on how western organizations choose to publish them or not.
