Not on Lemmy. Om Lemmy you’re 50% German, 50% American unless proven otherwise.
I have blocked sooooo many german communities and several german instances.
I browse all to get as much new content as possible.
But I have to block a shitload of stuff I am not interested in seeing.
Äh, du kan väl lika gärna lära dig Svenska, det blir enklare för oss båda! (:
Da hast du wohl recht, ich habe noch kein einziges “du hast mich” bis jetzt (Verwenden Sie für den zitierten Teil nicht Google Translate)

Auch weil alles Liebe in Lemmy ist, ja? /witz
The SMX “World Championship” just finished. It only takes place in the US.
You mean anything without world in its name?
The name fits, it’s just that the only people in the world who give a shit about baseball are from the USA.
Tbf it seemed to make more sense for the likes of Reddit, Facebook, etc. Similarly if I go to a Chinese forum I would not assume that everyone there was from the USA.
I’ve heard this more times, and it’s kind of baffling. The US isn’t even the biggest individual country on Facebook. What do people who assume everyone is from the US think a non-US “forum” looks like? Where do Americans think everybody else hangs out online?
NOW, but when Reddit started, and therefore the now infamous subreddit names were first doled out?
I am fairly sure that the rest of the world already existed. And those formats keep being in use in newer places, too. This is not just a Reddit thing. Even you mentioned Facebook, which was instantly popular globally.
Given how many people choose to speak their native language in the US (myself included), I guess they assume they post to forums that are in their language.
As a US citizen I think we forget how much of our shit gets out.
I’m always surprised when I go abroad and people are up to date with somewhat niche US info. I was in Hong Kong and some local dude made a reference to the fatass NJ gov who was chilling on the closed beach during lockdowns.
I do feel like I see far more people complaining about US people making assumptions than I do US people assuming. When I’m replying to someone I don’t put any thought into where they’re from unless they drop a context clue.
Note: this is just for your understanding, I’m not criticising you.
It’s the little things, like using NJ as a short form assuming everyone to know. Hong Kong is arguably more well known globally, but you spelled it out.
The ones in the know often don’t see the assumption.
…Anything written in English, and you can usually filter that even more by just looking for people using too many U’s.
What if i use “color”, " gouvernment", “dialogue”, " humor", “armor”, " and “honour”
