would you join an instance

If I could read those languages yes probably.

Same. But I don't think the Russians or Chinese would give two shits what I think about them dominating an online space lol

Also pretty sure Iranians are struggling to get online rn let alone take over an instance

I'd expect anyone who's dominating to not give a shit about others, because such a status somewhat benefits them.

Except that such a situation strengthens bias and creates an echo-chamber which may be problematic in the long run but isn't seen as an issue most of the time, I think

There is no need to read those languages. Translations are still a thing. I remember that, while on Reddit, r/Europe posted links in other languages, but OP provided an English translation. So, yes, you can post national news in your official language, whatever it is, and post its translation, and now you have an international community or instance.

But it seems I'm the only one who posts links in my official language (Spanish) on international communities.
