Me too, but later I learned a bit of german and latin. The thing is you can fake english easily, like “why use lot word when few do trick” is a totally understandable sentence. Word order is not as stict as in german, no cases, no grammatical genders, verb tenses are mostly optional. Pronunciation is messed up though.

English is a global lingua franca, not just european. And it’s not just because of the american and british influence, but because it’s a relatively easy language.

Also the translator programs are better and better, this is actually a good and fitting usecase of current LLMs. I think we are not far away from the babel fish.

I watched the stream, it was just a very long looped video of the girl in the photo, looked the same one day later. It seems like it’s been deleted today. The Friendica profile also nothing extraordinary. I guess the scam should be on the chat, it required one more click after opening the site, and I never heard of this stumblechat, so I didn’t bother. After some searching I can’t find a lot info on this Stumblechat, it definitely has nothing to do with the fediverse.
