Filter posts per language (Chinese)? #120

Closed CameronBanga closed 6 years ago

CameronBanga commented 6 years ago

Signed up for three of these, and they're awesome.

But getting a lot of Chinese repos in the emails (Java, Swift, and Obj-C). It's great that GitHub is so popular in China, but I don't read any Chinese, so these repos are useless to me.

Anyway there could be some sort of filtering per language for these?

vitalets commented 6 years ago

@CameronBanga I share the inconvenience. But just filtering out Chinese repos looks very opinionated to me. And for sure after some time we will get an issue "Why you filtering out Chinese entries?". I think we should find a better solution. Some already discussed in #116. Also I can create separate issues with and without Chinese. But it will end with too many confusing issues. I've asked support@github.com about filtering Chinese on trending page, let's wait the what they say.

Any more ideas?

CameronBanga commented 6 years ago

@vitalets That's a good point. Spent some time thinking about it, and you're right, there's not really a great solution given what is available.

Thanks for all your work though!

This is so biased! Take YouTube for example, it has many comments / posts in many different languages, will YouTube remove/block them? Of course not!

Just need to remember, none of us is the OWNER of this community, we are not totalitarianism here.

The correct way is to implement some filtering mechanism, default to everything, and user can define the filter rule the way he/she prefers.

I agree with you, @unruledboy ! I've contacted GitHub support and they promised to consider adding lang filter to trends.

Sure, we can't just ban all the Chinese, but this is a personal project so the owner can do as he pleases, and if he wished to do so, he could remove Chinese entries with no problems. Github has already been banned in Russia, so maybe China will follow suit soon.

As a chinese,I agree with you, @unruledboy !

Sadly this continues to be a problem, although this repo is a useful source of interesting news.

I can add automatic translation via @matheuss google-translate-api. The result can be like following:

What do you think?

Can't we just filter repos by language ? We can already almost do so by tech language (java, go, etc), why not by spoken language ? Also : is this repo still relevant due to Microsoft x Github situation ?

GitHub trending page does not provide such filters.

Also : is this repo still relevant due to Microsoft x Github situation ?

Yes, repo is relevant.

Epistol commented 4 years ago

Apparently Github trending page now support spoken language filter, basic with one choice for now but it's better than nothing.
