I went to Argentina with very little Spanish, and then got the chance to go back again a few years later with much better Spanish, and yeah, it felt like a door had opened to experiences that just weren’t available to me before. Even something as simple as heading to the store to get some milk and bread was radically different.

It’s necessary because we had a transphobic troll target us for a while, who would create throw away accounts, join the channel and post all sorts of horrible shit where everyone could see it.

It’s the same reason we use an application on this lemmy instance.
