MODERATORS
 

Many suggestions on how to replace American products have a very local home in an EU country and are not available without problems or costs in other EU countries or the UK.
Why not also allow local tips in the local language? Europe is not a monophyletic block, but thrives on the diversity of cultures. Our communication here in the community can also express this.

LLM are able to do pretty good translations nowadays, even where former automatic translators did badly (example: Japanese to English sucks on Ggle Translate, but is much better on LLM). So I think it's manageable for occasional moderation. You can use DuckDuckGo's duck.ai for a free and safer access to different LLMs. I don't know what's the quality for languages with a smaller amount of content on the internet, though.

Well, are you ready to moderate non-English post?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I thought about it when I created my tiny food community and decided to allow any language in the rules.

No, I'm really asking. if you would be willing to moderate contents in this exact community. I mean, we need to know the means at our disposal to debate the request.

Sure I could moderate French, English, Spanish and maybe Japanese a bit, and use LLMs for the rest. Although, I am uncertain about the point of having both BuyFromEU and BuyEuropean, is there a discussion about this topic somewhere?
