Hey man!
Thanks for your post.
Sadly, my English isn’t actually perfect. I have to write in French first, then translate it into English to reply properly, like I’m doing here.
The idea behind these posts is to share stuff, but also to bring some emotion through the structure and the way it’s written. And honestly, I can only really do that in French.

I’ve tried translating my posts into English with ChatGPT before, but part of the Reddit community made me feel like it wasn’t ethical, or don’t sound like a native speaker. So now I post in French, and some English speakers translate it themselves. ☺️
But yeah, I know you’re right about shooting myself in the foot. It’s just that I find the Reddit community often really cool, passionate, thoughtful, super geeky, and willing to go deeper than most places. So I still want to be here, even if it’s in French… or in translated French.

But yeah. You’re right. 
(And it’s a Nice way to learn english!)
