Different states are not like literally different countries.
Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit
hibsen@lemmy.world 10 months agoGoogle tells me there’s like 332 million people in the US and like 750 million in Europe. I get that they’re different countries, but different states here might as well be.
Are there posts Europeans make that I’m just not seeing (beyond complaints like this one), or is there something else that keeps them from posting and upvoting the content they apparently want to see in places like world news?

Exactly, different states still have their country as common ground. Most Europeans identify with their nationality first, and as a European second.

Europeans tend to prefer discussing local matters in their own language
