    Well sure. But that’s also because everyone else learned how to use English to communicate. So it FEELS like we’re all American. It’s a common thing in online spaces.

    Maar als we allemaal terug zouden gaan naar onze eigen taal, voelt het hier een stuk minder Amerikaans.

    I’ve literally had lengthy English conversations with other Dutch people online where we only figured out we were both Dutch twenty comments later :D

    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

    Maybe the problem is that in Europe our news are mostly in local languages. So, if I post something I would need to translate. Or one would need to share something from France24 (English), BBC, Euronews (English), etc. But, the content is not as comprehensive as the national newspapers…

    @Mika@sopuli.xyz !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world I’m Brazilian and oftentimes the “All” feed across the entire Lemmy ecosystem feels, in fact, like a smoothie mashup between European-specific political issues and USian-specific political issues, so, when it comes to the phenomenon that the European Fedizens feel on Lemmy, not only we feel the same, but we, Fedizens from the Global South, we feel it twice!

    It’s also nice when they come into our country-specific subs to tell us how things are in the US, as we get so little news about the US.

      I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country’s politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

          we only have dirty corrupt diddlers on each level of hierarchy. The prime minister is a “gyaan raat bhar, kaam jhaant bhar” kinda guy. The media is sold. The opposition lacks strength. Politicians get way too much power for doing Literally nothing.

          I believe India is in “USA but 50 years ago if smart phones were present” kind of situation

                Andhbhakts are already at it. Whataboutism at its finest when you look at their “arguments” and “points”. Seriously, I wonder why so many people are so deluded? Is the Cult of Personality really so strong with BJP? Seems like it.

                  I think in north india, we seem to bind our identity with a politician or a party and start justifying everything they do. Plus the lack of awareness in the masses is never a good thing.

                  The country is groups of giant flocks of sheeps.

    It makes me laugh when Europeans makes these comments. If you want to see more European centric content… post it. Its free to do.

    People write as though Americans need to stop interacting with the platform, when the solution is really to increase European engagement, which falls on them to do.

        We do, it is just that Americans flood even country-specific subs to make it about them.

        We know your country sucks, you don’t have to remind us every time we open the internet.

        Well, that was more of a rhetorical question. This new European narrative is buzzing and I get it. But I think that any move forward should involve everyone who wants to co-create new rules and then play by them. Replacing America first with Europe first is just dumb.

          That is of course true, but…

          Americans habe a right to have their own things as well. Not everything they do needs to be global. If someone from there wants to ask other Americans or just other US residents a question and they prefix it with “Americans of Lemmy” or “US residents in Lemmy”, I think that’s fine.

          And similarly, if an European person has a thought they know os connected to them living in Europe, it makes sense that they direct their questions to Europeans.

          What I hate is when people talk like “what do you think about”, but actually means for the question to be a answered by US residents only, or talk on an international forum as if there was a leftist party in US congress or senate. If you want to ask a US-centric or Japan-centric or Eurocentric question, then by all means, go for it, in my opinion – as long as the question is clearly marked as such.

          And this one is.
