Hello and welcome to the community!

In the last two days this sub has gone from 1.6K members to over 8K! This is an exciting time for us and we're thrilled to see this community growing and thriving. This post will serve as a brief introduction to the sub and will let you know some information about the content of and the new rules we have put in place.

What is this sub all about?

This sub is dedicated to stories about people talking about the OP in another language, not knowing you can speak the language too. These stories can be positive or negative, as long as the overall theme is followed.

What are the rules?

1. The main rule we have is that your post must be about someone who talks about you in another language, not realising that you understand them and can respond! Posts unrelated to this topic will be removed.

2. It's a real shame that this has to be said, but no bigotry of any kind will be allowed. This is a welcoming subreddit for people to share fun stories.

3. No plagiarising other people's content please! Any stories posted here must involve you or be recounted with the person's permission.

4. Follow reddiquette. This one should be a given, but please follow it. Make sure to check out reddiquette if you don't know reddit's guidelines.

5. No spam and no ads. Spam and advertising will not be allowed.

6. Tag NSFW content. This rule speaks for itself.

First time offenders will receive a warning under their removed comment or post. Second time offenders will receive a 72-hour mute. Third time offenders will be permanently banned.

Please message modmail if you have any questions. We're looking forward to seeing this community grow and to hearing all your stories :)

Hello everyone!
As you may have already heard, a recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.

The Situation:

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader and numerous others. ('API Calls' are how apps get information from Reddit's main servers to present to you).

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customising Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface. In addition, many 3rd party apps offer functions for those differently abled, such as blind users, functions that do not exist in Reddit's official app.

This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going private (going 'dark') to protest this policy. Some (including this one) will return after 48 hours, on June 14th. Others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love. (Going private means means that only approved users will be able to access the subreddit. Since most subs don't use 'approved user' functions, this means basically no one will be able to access those subreddits during that time.)

The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

• Learn more about the effort at /

• Complain. Message the mods of .com, who are the admins of the site: message : submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on , leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.

• Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the effort at - but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail.

• Join the boycott! Stay off Reddit entirely from June 12th through the 14th- instead, take to your favourite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!

• Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

We hope you understand why this decision has been made!
