  Nope. Only America and Europe have internet, silly.

  There are. There are also Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctic.

    Well, that was more of a rhetorical question. This new European narrative is buzzing and I get it. But I think that any move forward should involve everyone who wants to co-create new rules and then play by them. Replacing America first with Europe first is just dumb.

      That is of course true, but…

      Americans habe a right to have their own things as well. Not everything they do needs to be global. If someone from there wants to ask other Americans or just other US residents a question and they prefix it with “Americans of Lemmy” or “US residents in Lemmy”, I think that’s fine.

      And similarly, if an European person has a thought they know os connected to them living in Europe, it makes sense that they direct their questions to Europeans.

      What I hate is.when people talk like “what do you think about”, but actually means for the question to be a answered by US residents only, or talk on an international forum as if there was a leftist party in US congress or senate. If you want to ask a US-centric or Japan-centric or Eurocentric question, then by all means, go for it, in my opinion – as long as the question is clearly marked as such.

      And this one is.

        Seriously, why are they considered different continents? Let’s just be Eurasia.
