Wait, is there suppose to be something else?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

plonker

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I feel like I see way more posts/comments complaining about Americans than ones by Americans being obnoxious or self centered.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I've noticed a large upswing of "fuck Americans" posts recently too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

You know you can start your own lemmy instance for EU centric topics right.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

Oh wow, it’s you, the main character. I actually get to meet you!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

I would, but this post is about America, so I can't make it about anything else.

Should the rest of the world have ignored Germany in the '30s?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You can say the same thing about every region of the world. Why does Europe just ignore African and South American news?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Do those places present a threat to civil rights and democracy?

Don't worry, soon China will have their boot on the neck of the world, and then every conversation will be about China!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Yep, I've posted a thread asking for some statistics for some global average of something that I couldn't find on google, and some guy linked me a statistics based on US. Smh.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 54 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I appreciate how the europoor made this meme about America.

USA! USA!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

I hope one day they get to visit our glorious nation and get a taste of real freedom.

im sure theres plenty of non English speaking communities that never mention anything US related for you to browse

[–] [email protected] 47 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 :-(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

the poorest europoor is now Hungary. What 20 years of autocrat oppression does to a nation (I really hope you can beat his party at next elections, good luck from Germany <3)

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.

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

language barriers are a thing.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

It's not even Americans talking about American politics either haha
