Digital Belonging: Why Language and Locality Matter

jaz-michael king @blog@jaz.co.uk

<p>I grew up in Wales during a time when our language and culture were under pressure. That experience shaped my belief in the importance of digital spaces where people can speak their own language, connect locally, and be truly seen. This is why I care so deeply about language and regional inclusion in the Fediverse. The tools we use shape the communities we build. If we want a more equitable, pluralistic digital future, we must design for it – starting with language, location, and the right to participate fully.</p>
