  • ma Mosijo for Hungary is objectively terrible as far as transliterations go, though I quote like that it’s one of the very few if not only that changed very early on (2005 iirc – it was Masija, which was too similar to Asija).

    The ‘gy’ /ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ in magyar* becoming an /s/ is just weird, though can be reasoned (/ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ > /dʲ/ > /di/ > /ti/ >** /si/ – the semivowel then added back), it’s still one syllable too long. ‘a’ is an /ɒ/ in Hungarian, that becoming an ‘o’ is arguably acceptable (although I’d argue against it, but given the circumstances, I won’t complain).
    Better solution? “Mata” for Hungarian could work I guess, all I know is that U’d greatly orefer having a plosive in it than a fricative.

    *: the country’s name is Magyarország, where magyar=Hungarian, ország=country **: by toki pona syllable rules












  • I think* the basic idea is that there’d be specialized hosts/instances for certain broader topics, OR just allowing to create close “communities” by disallowing cross-intance interactions.

    It could be confusing for a while, but I think in time things will mostly normalize in one way or another and the concept of “rival subreddits” were already a thing.

    *: I’m also new here, so all of this is just conjecture
