Japanese X is now America's favorite corner of the internet

Note that Japanese X lacks a lot of the political insanity of normal X (or even Bluesky). They mostly discuss culture, hobbies, interests, and daily activity, rather than whatever outrageous thing some political lightning rod is doing at that moment.

Just goes to show how much our online behavior and trends are determined by algorithms. The translate button has been there for years, but I guess some engineer flipped the "show international tweets on the timeline" button last week and this is the result.

Can confirm Japanese X is great, the translate feature in general is a lot of fun and works incredibly well, I didn't realize the tweets were translated for the longest time.
