The problem is that YT and non-YT people enter the anglosphere (at least linguistically) almost by definition if they do anything techie or
-
science-related because that's the way the world is.
-
Yep, I speak 5 languages but I use mainly English at work and social media cause it's the most common language in all interactions

INB4: no, I didn't make it up. It's a Twitter thing.

That doesn't even save many characters... but, thanks for explaining :)
-
I am not certain it's for saving characters TBH.

Fair enough... I often don't like twitter so much when I leave my bubble

I've found people not in US/UK that are tweeting in other language and think they share methods/stats interest, but hard to follow

Connecting with people who don't speak English will be tough unless one group or both learns the language and semantics of the other, yes.

I'm bilingual and from a country with diglossia, so yes, I can speak from experience: it's tough to explain science in my other native lang.
-
I don't see that as something I particularly want to work on, but yeah, scicom to other linguistic groups is a just cause. You will need to
