What language do you speak best?

It’s also remarkable how many people speak “Other”!

EDIT: I was trying to make a joke by pretending “Other” was a language. But that clearly didn’t work.

I expected the Fediverse to have many English & German speakers and had read that it was popular in France. I wanted to check these assumptions via a survey and my instance only lets me create four options. Beyond that, I didn’t know what to expect but the replies to my initial post show just how linguistically diverse the Fediverse is!

@mattesilver @rauschma It’s rather a cultural thing about privacy, which is why Mastodon is also a GmbH, not the other way around. -
