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...

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

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

That's not the issue. The issue is stuff like !politics@lemmy.world which explicitly forbids world politics. It's an US politics only community.

[–] Beefsquints@discuss.online 3 points 3 hours ago

The good news is that we are quickly losing global relevance!

[–] autocaret@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Let's be the change :-)

Why do you hate iOS programming language?

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

wait you can mute words on lemmy? that would be cool

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago

I checked the main default Lemmy UI does not have filters. But my mobile Lemmy client (Eternity) do have.

Hey, some of us just want to have the biggest instance so we don't have to rely on people subscribing to things. (Australia, I have 2 accounts)

>US News — Midwest.social

>look inside

>it's Russians

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 22 minutes ago* (last edited 18 minutes ago) (1 children)

Was just permabanned from Ask Lemmy for explaining Russian and Chinese bots (bots are slaves). FYI did you know it's totally okay for Russia and China to have slaves and engage in expansionism and election interference? Slaves are TOTALLY COOL and fine if they are Russian or Chinese, even if that means Russia or China expands into new territories and enslaves new people👍 Disliking slavery and war makes me a US propaganda shill somehow, even though the US is also explicitly pro-slavery (13th amendment) and pro-warfare and is operated by a Russian asset so all US propaganda these days IS Russian propaganda

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

Oh they actually specified "US"? Usually they just ramble on about the generic West.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 18 points 14 hours ago

There's a beautiful sweet spot between the Americans going to bed and the Germans waking up where Its not US politics but I can still understand whats being said.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 49 points 22 hours ago

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.
