Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

Isn’t LW Dutch?
Tell that to all the non US specific named communities created on LW, that are actually US specific according to rules.
Politics, news... All those communities are actually US specific, while having a nonUS name and being hosted on Europe. It irritates me.
Let’s not bring the Netherlands into this. I can get the gist from English or German, but Dutch is right out. Weirdos.
Ah nee we liggen eruit jongens :(

I'm not European but I am Canadian and I don't know if Americans realise how annoying it is that any general community like "politics" or "news" is specifically American as per the rules. I was really hoping we'd leave the US defaultism behind on Reddit

It is so annoying and it’s my biggest complaint about Lemmy. Every dang thread, the comment section is usually filled with US politics discussion even if it’s a completely unrelated topic.

I wonder if people complained about the German defaultism in 1911 or 1936.

There were complaints that any serious academic work had to be in German during the late 1800s
