- Comment on Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak? 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the context, commenting in your native language is often totally okay.
Let's say: a Japanese artist posting an art with Japanese caption, they would totally happy to receive comment from various language, displaying a cultural exchange.
This behaviour of native language comment is actually common in Asia and Africa, but not in Western countries...
Just be wary of joke or sarcasm that might interpreted as hate comment.

Not really.
In Asia, people often just comment in their own language. Though, English is preferable for easier translation. Unless some extreme nationalist, most people simply happy to interact with you.
Just remember that it could be misunderstood, especially with sarcasm or joke.
I've seen Japanese artist deleted their account because they mistaken a joke towards their art as hate comment.
