"am happy that's your experience online!"
Well, I am sorry it's not everyone's experience.

I wish I could see the list of notes next to my blocklist, I'd imagine it would look something like

@ygathgoch @nic Such a pity that some people have that attitude

@CiaraNi it’s a very rare occurance (and much rarer here than in Other Places) but every now and then someone will explain that I’d get more engagement if I posted in English, or bilingually, as if I hadn’t worked that out for myself!
@nic Oh my, Welshsplaining!
-
At one point, two nurses were discussing my thumb, in English: I’d been speaking Welsh to one, but assumed the other didn’t understand, so I switched to English. WRONG! They were both Welsh speakers, but the one I hadn’t seen before had assumed *I* wasn’t, so was speaking English to her colleague for *my* benefit.
We have a long way to go.
@nic @ygathgoch That was considerate, but yes, I imagine it makes it more complicated to just naturally use the language in everyday situations.

@nic @CiaraNi the assumption we're all here for engagement really annoys me. I once got a DM in response to a picture of a sunset saying I'd get more engagement if I used hashtags, and while it was well intentioned (if a bit mansplainer) under the assumption that my purpose here was to maximize engagement and publicize myself I guess, I'm really just here to drop random posts and pictures that made me happy into the conversation and if they make someone else happy that's the only metric of success I'm interested in realky

"I wish I could see the list of notes next to my blocklist" - oh yes please. I would love this feature. The notes are fairly buried in the current set-up. I would love an at-a-glance list of name + note on block lists.
-
@CiaraNi @afewbugs afaik, the only time I’ve had Welsh explained back at me is when some kind soul (not a Welsh-speaker) has boosted one of my Welsh toots, and one of *their* followers has Saisplained to me. It’s very rare, but I suppose it’s better than the “lol, cat fell asleep on the keyboard!” type nonsense.

@CiaraNi “Saisbonio”
@nic I'm guessing the Sais there is related to Sassenachs. A kind of local version of the Irish 'The Brits Are At It Again' between the Welsh and English
-
@greenpete You took that very literally.

@CiaraNi @afewbugs @CarstenBoll when you export lists is the notes section on there? I haven't done an export in a while. I need to

@Tattooed_Mummy @afewbugs @CarstenBoll Good question. I'd like a full list with notes, now that I think about it. Not just blocks and mutes, but any profile I added a note to. That's be a handy at-a-glance guide.

@CiaraNi I had no idea that was an option… (not sure I would know what to use it for. I guess I follow few enough people to sort of remember what I think of them?)
