to add to this, there’s a few product-y reasons why I would really like a createPost API 1. we could run a server-side language detection model that actually works, so we wouldn’t need the language select in the client (it sucks) 2. you wouldn’t need to specify a createdAt time anymore (cont.)

Yea. Google Translate doesn’t understand my friends slangy Russian, mixes Ukrainian and Russian awkwardly often and gets short Finnish phrases wrong. I just don’t trust the automatics

very reasonable. it’s just the current state of things is extremely dire - barely anyone changes it, so a huge % of posts are in the wrong language

Related but unrelated. My Finnish feed occasionally has pictures of men naked although the language is English. I’m suspecting they’re selecting Finnish as a tribute to Tom of Finland 🤷🏻‍♂️
