I'm surprised everyone didn't realize it right from the beginning before things got to this point. Better late then never, I - suppose.

FYI the 41% of instances that block or limit Threads (from the source data which doesn't have every instance), accounts for 24% of the user base of the fediverse.

A unifed global language is one of the characteristics of a type 1 civilization and right now English happens to be in a position to become that language. But whether or not English is the optimal option is a whole different can of worms. Since language and culture are so intertwined, the idea of the cultures, beliefs, and "mindsets" of entire groups of people being slowly erased, dominated, and assimilated by the anglosphere mind is a concerning long term problem. You lose out on potentially beautiful things only people of that culture and "mind" are capable of creating/conceiving or nurturing. Also America's dominance of cultural exports is insane.
