  I like how this meme said America twice proving that it is the greatest nation on earth and probably the universe.

    I appreciate how the europoor made this meme about America.

    USA! USA!

    You don’t even have a name. You are just some states in (the continent of) America that just happen to be united for some reason

      We are united because no individual state in the union has the capacity to become the world’s largest economy or sole superpower. Together we managed it.

  so instead of making a post about Europe you made another post about America?

  Unfortunately America is relevant to most of the world rn. Wish it wasn’t though

  source

  • obinice@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s relevant, yes, but not the center of every single topic or event they is happening or exists anywhere.

    Go online however and you’d think it were.

    The bigger problem is their assumption that their country is the “default” country. Discussing something highly specific to your nation, or posting a news article covering a topic that is only relevant within your nation? You need to provide the context of what country you’re talking about, otherwise people might be confused or waste their time reading something irrelevant to them. Over and over.

    … unless it’s about the USA of course, then you don’t need to give any context at all because of course the only people they use the Internet are Americans, and obviously the only country worth talking about is the 🇺🇸 US of A! 🇺🇸

    This is highly encouraged in places like Reddit, where communities like /r/news or /r/politics are actually local national subreddits just for the USA, but because they’re special little darlings they use the format that should be reserved for all news and political discussion, rather than a more appropriate and descriptive title like /r/usanews or /r/usapolitics, which would actually be… you know… descriptive and helpful.

    That’s not even mentioning the number of times some random person has used code/abbreviation to describe where they are to lend context to a conversation, but failed to take into account that people outside of your country don’t know your local regional internal place names.

    Oh, you’re from ML? OH? TA? Great, that provides precisely zero information because those aren’t country name abbreviations. Oh, you’re from London which is all the context you think I need? Okay, I know Lo…oh, London… Texas? 🤦‍♀️

    So many wonderful people in the USA, so many fantastic people who don’t have any of the traits I’ve described, I just wish the ones strutting around acting like they’re the only country in the world and on the internet would open their eyes to how that sort of toxic personality trait looks to, and affects others :-(

      I mean, isn’t this why everything you see is America dominated? Almost every major platform used by typical English speaking westerners is going to be owned and made in America and hence America focused. Combine this with the gargantuan influence America exerts on the world, I don’t think it’s hard to see why you see so much American centered things. I get this is a shit post but I always see comments like this bemoaning american over representation.

  Lemmy has been one of the best places online for toning down the American emphasis (although I think my blacklist keywords filters help a lot with that… Highly recommended).

  Lemmy has better European/Australian representation, but there isn’t much Asian or African representation though.

  source

  • zaphod@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Honestly no, I think it’s worse here. I blocked so many communities because they’re just about US politics, but that stuff is still everywhere, even in generic meme communities.
