  • In the time since I made this post, Xiaohongshu has already added a native translate button for text posts and comments.

    Images are less of a big deal since:

    a) Memes and jokes originally written in Mandarin often don’t make sense when translated anyway (i.e., puns, cultural references).

    b) English-speaking users have generally agreed to hold each other accountable so that when they post English content, they include both English and Mandarin subtitles out of respect for the fact that they are “intruding.”

    c) When worst comes to worst, iOS lets you translate text from screenshots natively (it takes a few taps but works), and Android lets you do it instantly with screen-reading translation apps.











  • i’m sorry you feel impinged on by me suggesting features that i and plenty of my neurodivergent or visually impaired acquaintances find to be helpful. features you admit you didn’t know about and might actually be helpful just as they have been for me.

    you do not need to find them helpful because no accessibility system is perfect. but no need to call me ableist. that’s just fucking cringe. :( have a good one and maybe be nicer to people.
