2) All posts must end with a '?'

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Non-native speaker? interesting, now you're using complete sentences, making a coherent statement, and speaking perfect English.
When you're someone who wasn't initially raised with English in mind, you can still speak it substantially, but that doesn't mean it comes naturally in the way it does for most people. I simply tried again and seemed to speak pleasingly the second time, it doesn't mean I'm revealing innate skills. I don't suppose I'm the only individual in this particularly multicultural place we call Lemmy you've encountered whose family didn't specialize in English, am I?
You talk like a robot.
How so?
"this particularly multicultural place you call Lemmy" is the standout bit of weird phrasing here. It's almost unnecessarily verbose
Every word there was chosen based on accuracy. Lemmy is huge on cultural equality. More than any mainstream place. I said it in response to how out of place it is to still be singled out for linguistics.
