Increase your population, elect the worst leaders, ditch universal healthcare and other social supports, and your country can contest the US in potential topics for the All feed!
Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

Well I suppose I’ll take that’s silver lining, given how our continents going for the most part then

Isn’t LW Dutch?
shalafi@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Let’s not bring the Netherlands into this. I can get the gist from English or German, but Dutch is right out. Weirdos.

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.
NotSteve_@piefed.ca 8 months ago
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
Serinus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I wonder if people complained about the German defaultism in 1911 or 1936.
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
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.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think they talk about the USA even more over on ML tbh, but with a difference in connotations.
gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
IDK, I never browse All, basically. Funny meme, tho.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I’ve blocked quite a few very popular communities because I don’t understand their language. I’m guessing they’re still popular? Europe as a whole, seems to be quite popular (or it was, I’ve blocked them).

Had me in the first half. Thought this was, once again, about 'Muricans. No comprendo, no parlan gut Englisch
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
I’ve done the same with anything sports. if it’s sports related, it’s blocked and the one who posted it blocked as well. I want nothing to do with it.
starting to also consider anything us related too.
other languages are fine for me, I just skip past em.
angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 8 months ago
You were getting sports?
It’s not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it’s not a lot.

You can also filter out keywords like Trump, Elon, GOP, etc. Generally this excludes shit from their little tribal conflict but retains post that could be of interest.

Counter-counterpoint:
The first line of the YouTube Wikipedia article is ‘YouTube is an American social media and online video sharing platform owned by Google.’
Google is also American.

A sizeable portion of it, at the very least.
Hewman@piefed.social 8 months ago
a whopping 4% by population and 1.8% by area. so, not really

Sorry, I don’t go to feddit.org due to their censorship of Israel-critical posts. Due to moral reasons I cannot accept (though I understand) this despite being a legal requirement.
LinguisticKerosene@lemmy.wtf 8 months ago
Thanks didn’t know this, I’m blocking them too. But to be honest, also here in .world there are many people repeating zionist propaganda with no shame.

carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
c’est parce que lemmy.world (et la plupart des instances) est anglophone, donc a un biais américain/britannique
moi je propose que tout le monde parle dans sa langue maternelle, pis de toute façon les logiciels de traduction sont rendus assez bon on va pouvoir se comprendre quand même

Gute Idee. Machen was so.
Ich hatte einige Jahre Französisch und hab sogar ungefähr gecheckt was du meinst, geil.
QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 8 months ago
Ashamed American here and I assume your comment was in French, and those are the only two things I have even the vaguest clue how to pronounce in French (but I had to look up the spelling!)
Funny enough, as you suggested, I popped your text into a translator after typing out the above and using my limited second language knowledge, and it turns out, I managed to get the general gist of it without the help of a translator!
AA5B@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Right. For example my browser did a perfectly cromulent job of translating what you just wrote into a language I can read …… unless you weren’t talking about a plot to take over the world
davidagain@lemmy.world 8 months ago
C’est compréhensible et logique, bien sûr, mais <<américain/britannique>> est douloureux à voir en tant que Britannique.
