Gods, this is so accurate. A part of me wish we could just isolate the U.S. for a bit, because I'd be curious to see how that'd affect the discourse in the rest of the world. The rise of the far right and Trump legitimately being voted in as president legitimised the far-right movements in my country as well. Last election people were literally pushing for the stop-and-frisk BS to become a thing here.

I hate that I know what stop-and-frisk even is.

We need a new internet, without shootings and two party politics!

On the bright side, if civilization doesn't collapse we'll eventually all get to complain about why the news is Chinese politics 24/7

Every time I mentioned Trump on Reddit’s world news sub, I got shouted down for talking about “irrelevant” US politics. I tried to explain his potential impact on the politics of other countries, but they didn’t want to hear it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Trump was important for the rest of the world when he was... you know... the president of the US... now it's just a little mediocre guy and I understand that all the little advances in bringing him to justice are pretty important to you guys, but I couldn't care less.

If he ever gets elected again for some reason, then we will see the potential impact, but for now he is pretty irrelevant im afraid.

Sounds like Europeans need to step up on being a dumpster fire if they want as much coverage as us. Be the change you want to see in the world!

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 years ago

Hey well seems that most of EU is working on it sadly

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Between Meloni, Órban, PiS, the True Finns, etc. I think there are plenty of dumpster fires

Is there like a framerate shortage going around right now?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah this is bring-your-own-frame day, you didn't get the memo ?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

Even with the low framerate it's still highly inefficient and comes to 23MB. This is why you don't use gif for video.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

A lot of frame rate is currently being shipped to Ukraine

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/Nz8ssH7LiB0?si=hXxgSacqjdgM9Yxh

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I love how most of the Lemmy instances are hosted on European servers, yet Europeans still don't have enough population, money, or influence to change the status quo.

US politics does not belong in World News, yet the upvote counts say otherwise. Europeans need to step up the game and encourage more other Europeans to join Kbin/Lemmy. This will never be fixed without the numbers.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Europeans still don’t have enough population, money, or influence to change the status quo.

English is the issue. There are only about 80M people who speak English as a first language in Europe, out of 0.8 billion or so. Yeah, plenty of people who are relatively fluent in English participate in English social media, but many also spend a lot of time in social media in their own language, something English-speakers never see.

The Fediverse has a pretty big German-speaking population, but not as much French, Italian, Spanish, etc. I don't know where they are -- probably Facebook / Instagram.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Google tells me there's like 332 million people in the US and like 750 million in Europe. I get that they're different countries, but different states here might as well be.

Are there posts Europeans make that I'm just not seeing (beyond complaints like this one), or is there something else that keeps them from posting and upvoting the content they apparently want to see in places like world news?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 years ago (9 children)

Europeans tend to prefer discussing local matters in their own language

Different states are not like literally different countries.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (10 children)

Exactly, different states still have their country as common ground. Most Europeans identify with their nationality first, and as a European second.

Try being Canadian. We've lost all sense of self-identity here

I knew you guys were screwed when i read about Canadian screaming about "the 1st amendment" when getting arrested by the police.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We talk more about Trump here than our own politicians.

And our politicians are Trump supporters.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

This is so accurate you could use it as a scope to shoot a fly from a rat ass all the way from across the next town.

American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.

American national news is just one outrage after another.
