This is true, and I have very strong feelings about developing an indigenous discourse on technology and against the passive acceptance of the influences and ideologies coming from California. At the same time, the production right now is limited and while we privilege content in Italian, technical articles are almost always written in English and therefore we need to compromise. Limiting submissions to content in Italian would kill the community on the spot.

Italian here, I can agree that it would be nice if more "indigenous" tech stuff existed in Italian but English is the de facto language in tech and anyone working on the field should be able to at least read English articles otherwise you'll only limit yourself.

Here on HN we see many blog posts or content produced by non-native English speakers and I don't see what's wrong with it, it opens up your content to an huge community that's quite global not only from SV

it's fine, but every language allows to express ideas that cannot be expressed in other languages, or allows you to think about the same ideas from a different perspective. While I agree that a common language is necessary, erasing all the important things that exists outside that language is as bad as not being able to understand each other.
