My (non-english) native language uses the question mark, but many don't use it out of lazyness. I don't think this is a local issue. Also, are there really that many languages that do not use a question mark? I would have thought that is the rarity.
Besides, most english content I read on lemmy are not nearly that bad to justify that.
Fun fact: In Greek the question mark is ";".

If programming memes have taught me anything, this one is that :D
I have to admit that I would have never imagined it's a different character than the semicolon if I hadn't seen those. That's bad optimization right there!
Interesting additional info: in Greek, the role of the semicolon is played by a floating period ·
