“My instance” as “the instance I’m subscribed to”: I might interact with it if it’s in a language that I speak, otherwise I leave it alone.
“My instance” as “a hypothetical instance, that I would be the admin of”: if I had my instance odds are that I’d be tweaking its rules to promote linguistic diversity on first place, so the appearance of speaking communities outside the default language (that would likely not be English in my instance, but either Portuguese or Italian) would show that I’m doing a good job.
Some people raise the concern of administration; but frankly? It looks for me like a strawman, not an actual problem. Trolls are attention seekers, so they’d likely post in the majority language; and other types of rule breaking scale with the size of the linguistic community in question, so when they become an actual concern you’ll be able to recruit help anyway.
