hi i'm a software engineer and i worked in the web for a good 8 years before i ever realized what the abbreviations i18n and l10n (internationalization and localization) stood for

I have had more meaningful, positive social interaction on Mastodon in the past week than I have had over SEVERAL YEARS of tumblr.

It's almost like keeping social media properly moderated and focusing on the user experience makes a site less toxic or something! :slime:
