One thing that doesn't get much attention in the EU vs. US jostling over control of the social web, is the huge number of people in Asian countries running fediverse servers.
A huge chunk of the fediverse is writing in Chinese characters, or Japanese or Korean, or in the trade languages of the Indian subcontinent. Yet I've seen no formal participation from those communities in fediverse Dev chatter.
How can we internationalise fediverse Dev? Is it language barriers? Cultural ones?
