Right. I figure that most Germanic and Romance speakers would be using Reddit. But that does leave the question of where those who don't speak a European language, and don't care to learn one, go - I know for sure that there are a notable number of Chinese and Japanese people who only speak their language, and use machine translation if they need to use another.

 

In particular, I'm referring to the people who would be redditors, but don't really use English. All the main Reddit subs are filled with English, and the few outposts on Reddit that mainly are not English are relatively small. This leads me to believe that such speakers must be going somewhere else for their Reddit-esque needs.

A few locations I'm already aware of:

  • South Korea uses arca.live
  • Japan uses LINE
  • The PRC uses Baidu Tieba
  • Russia uses Pikabu and VK

Do any of you know of any other non-English Reddit equivalents? I'm interested in how countries outside the US handle their social media.

I know it sounds impossible, but coffee always tastes like burnt water to me.

I much prefer tea instead.

Ah, yes. The 2 year old is obviously a reincarnated terrorist leader. The child naturally had to be grabbed for the crimes they committed in their previous life.

Your comments about "bulbheads" regarding the Xenomorph species is not appreciated.

The Romans stormed Rome more than a few times. Sometimes they succeeded.

An absurd suggestion. ICE agents looking to disappear you are merely volunteers for America's new Necronaut Program. Necronauts are needed for the upcoming assassination of God, and invasion of heaven.

In the Chinese VN White or Black, one of the first things the church guys did after taking control of the US was trim the prison populations. Though I imagine being able to see the future helped a bunch.

It is extremely effective at making sure people behave the proper way. It's the same philosophy behind small, weak prey being scared of big, strong predators.

I saw him do it! With my own two eyes! Vance snuck up behind the Pope, and shanked him like this!

I like to say:

I read a VN where aliens were asked to intervene, and solve the problem of humans being evil.

The main idea behind the aliens is that emotion is literally toxic to them. If you persistently shout at one in anger, the alien can actually die.

After some major periods of civil unrest, half of humanity started to advocate a symbiotic relationship with the aliens. They're inserted into a human subject, replacing most of their biological functions, but also adding the weakness to strong emotion.

You can see how people bound to an alien wouldn't support Tate. Tate wants to spread hatred, or strong feelings of superiority, but those feelings could actually hurt someone bound to an alien. Therefore, people bound to aliens would rather exile or imprison Tate instead to end the threat he poses to their health.

Amusingly, the alien people get so powerful in the VN that Tate and a bunch of supremacists who hate him have to work together so they don't get wiped out.
