I get it, the US fucking sucks. But I didn't choose to be from here and I'm doing my best with what I've got. The fediverse has been one of the only somewhat sane spaces I can get away from the nonstop propaganda machine.
Block the American communities all you want, but many of us are here to escape the bullshit, not spread it. Sorry our discussion of our politics in communities dedicated to our politics bothers you I guess? You don't really seem to me to understand the point of the fediverse

It’s not just that in my experience, it’s everyone assume you’re american by default because they’re american themselves, so they always talk in the context of being american in basically every topic. The politic and the topic doesn’t bother me much, it’s the american. I’m sorry this sounds so discriminatory but it’s the one thing that really bother me since reddit.

Join your countries instance? I’m fairly sure the people in Aussie.zone aren’t American. You could also put your flag in your display name.

I mean you're not wrong, but assuming everyone is like you is a critical thinking problem, not an American problem. I just think it's particularly noticeable in Americans because there are a lot of them on the platform and the dumb ones are loud. Doesn't really seem like a problem worth geofencing an entire nation; just block the idiots.
