Make a language tag optional when posting.
Language tags are optional in the Mastodon API, which means that if we want to be able to edit an existing post without changing things, we have to preserve an absence-of-language if it's there in the post being edited. Also, I can think of at least one perfectly sensible _reason_ to have a post with no language: if it's a post with no text, and only an image! (It would have to be an image with no alt text, but no matter how much those are socially disapproved of, they do _exist_, and in some cases you could imagine them being perfectly fine in practice, such as when posted in reply to a thread which gave all the necessary context.)
