> 自主可控、纯中文国内社区
> Independent and controllable, pure Chinese domestic community
Doing software projects for domestic and foreign users is extra work, and the community seems to fragment along language lines. For example: https://www.esp32.com/index.php
I guess a 纯中文国内社区 is one way to solve this, but then why post on hacker news? This seems contradictory.
Well, we've been doing this implicitly with English for a long time, so I guess Karma is a bitch.
On the other hand, I wrote a French technical blog for years, and it was way harder to reach a lot of people, so if I had to do it again, it would be in English.
They don't have this problem, since 1B people are Chinese.
Or it's their loss. 7B people don't speak a word of Mandarin, and even more can't read and write it.
