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
That’s not the issue. The issue is stuff like [email protected] which explicitly forbids world politics. It’s an US politics only community.
Wow you’re right, didn’t realise that was explicit before.
Feels pretty selfish of them to do that on lemmy.world
The good news is that we are quickly losing global relevance!
USA! USA! USA!
If we can’t be number one, we’ll be last place!
Let’s be the change :-)
Hey now - I’m at least not there right now.

These are my current muted words, got more on my mastodon account
Why do you hate iOS programming language?
wait you can mute words on lemmy? that would be cool
I checked the main default Lemmy UI does not have filters. But my mobile Lemmy client (Eternity) do have.
>US News — Midwest.social
>look inside
>it’s Russians
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
Oh they actually specified “US”? Usually they just ramble on about the generic West.
They do not like it when we tell people that bots are slaves and Russia, China, and BRICS have massive slave networks of bots online. So they had to do a US whataboutism real fast
Yeah I can’t even interact with that, Davel has made sure to only participate in boards where he’s a mod, and I can’t interact with anything he posts / comments because he makes damn sure not to come over to neutral boards.
He’s a pathetic Russian pretending to be American
I kept on pointing that out and he retreated back to communities he mods and never steps foot outside. Coward.
I am the moderator now
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)
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.
Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.
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.
Yup
why is it decapitated
Trump will probably give Alaska to Putin tomorrow.
Just a haircut.

Are there no other places than Europe or America?
Nope. Only America and Europe have internet, silly.
Those place aren’t white.
There are. There are also Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctic.
Why the hell do all these continents start with an a and ends with an a?!
Europe needs to be renamed Auropa
Europe is just West Asia peninsula.
Seriously, why are they considered different continents? Let’s just be Eurasia. Or Aisurope.
Spanish speakers for you covered, Europa.
