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 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow you're right, didn't realise that was explicit before.

Feels pretty selfish of them to do that on lemmy.world

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, and they ban you if you ask for the community to be opened to world politics.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 51 points 3 days 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.

Sometimes my feed is like half German memes

[–] Olkiss@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

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...

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 19 points 3 days 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.

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.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (9 children)

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.

@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!

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

Some twat of a mod removed a news article, a very popular post which I linked, because "it's internal US news". It was literally from the national broadcasting company of Finland, talking about our national Moomin characters. But no.

Lemmy is filled with Russian pretending to be Americans/Canadians/whatever

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

Are there no other places than Europe or America?

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 10 points 3 days ago

Nope. Only America and Europe have internet, silly.

I would love to see less America doom and gloom on lemmy. Why should we be the center of everything? More European- and Canada-centric posts, please.

I wish I was in Europe. Where I could pretend that news about our downfall was for a time at a distance and would never affect me.

[–] Mika@sopuli.xyz 22 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Oh don't worry it will affect us alright, it's just that we don't have any say in whatever happens there.

There is something so ironic about this post xD what about the other continents? I have been told they have people with internet access too xD

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Well, there are a lot of penguin posts here.
