I mean with the stupid names, could you not?! carving out interest in this crowded space is a challenge onto itself, you don’t hafta shoot yourself in the foot from the get-go!

that aside, anyone got experience with the thing?

      thank you! I am also one of the dozens of people who can read, what are the odds we come across one another on lemmy of all places, huh?

      while I have you here, would you say that giving unpronounceable welsh names to new entrants attempting to challenge established players with a decade+ strong foothold in this space is a) a prudent decision or b) hella stupid?

      we got issues switching normies to signal which has been around forever, how’s tongue-breaker gonna make any progress?

            Again, stupid chauvinist take. Not everyone speaks English and not everyone uses English pronunciations. Also, cwtch is a relatively popular loanword too, plenty of English speakers have learnt to say it.

            You know most of the world finds English spellings hard to pronounce, right? You’re speaking in a language notorious for its inconsistent pronunciations (see “-ough”).

            It’s also particularly fucked up to mock Welsh like that given that Welsh is one of the many languages with a long history of children being violently reprimanded for speaking their native language by English people.
