I have exactly the opposite experience. As a Go developer, I'm used to seeing Chinese developers and users speaking Chinese in the issue tracker showing no regard and respect to the rest of the world.

Not that I condone blocking github in China, but my experience with the Chinese is less than stellar.

What the fuck? They're not showing "respect" because they don't speak English?

[yg6ht5]

Yes, English is the "universal" language, whether we like it or not, and speaking in another language in a public place (such as a github issue tracker) is disrespectful, because it's like gatekeeping information and knowledge.

[aaomidi]

No it's not. This is imperialist thinking. There is no universal language.

If you want to understand what they're saying hire a translator or use an online service. They're not using some obscure language only a few people understand.

Get out with your western centric thinking.

I think you could have made your point without resorting to personal attacks.

Hmm. No.
