Re: "i also find myself in a dilemma. i don't like to write in..."
well if i write on bubble, i'll write in english. maybe it'll become the place i keep a gemlog. maybe i'll create a separate gemlog as i always like doing.
maybe i'll try to install tootik and will try to socialize from there via activity pub. let's see.
currently i am using socialhome, and this software is barely maintained and has many problems. plus it causes the main load on my server. neither diaspora nor mastodon do that. i chose it because i wanted to write in one place, instead of two - mastodon and diaspora. i ran a diaspora node since september 28, 2012.needed to keep my diaspora connections, mostly foreign, and write once for all networks.

I appreciate hearing your perspective on this. We all could stand to have more context in our lives.

thank you!
i guess it is better to keep bbs.geminispace.org to be mainly english language community.
i think someone can self host the esperanto version. i would maybe try to host armenian version. just i guess those two capsules would not be populated, and not sure those will have content.
anyway for the future i think it'll be good if bubble gets some gettext or other support for translation. but today i guess esperanto community on gemini space is not strong enough to have own bubble instance.
same with armenian community.
but yes, seeing capsules in different languages on gemini space is what i also enjoy. i may run tootik one day.
i also find myself in a dilemma. i don't like to write in english. but it is the language of communication between different people. today. but that's today. is the end of history here? don't get me wrong, i am not someone who watches russian state channels. (: well, maybe you are, but then probably we are not friends. and i am not someone who wants to write texts that are very abstract and are important without a context, are timeless. i believe in 'medium is the message'. i believe '...
