    @[email protected] [email protected] 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!

      People don’t post or comment and wonder why there is no content relevant to themselves

      It’s a mystery /s

        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.

          That you say “your country” immediately reveals your own bias to assume that everything you see is American.

          You probably think everyone posting is male as well.

          Even I think both of these things despite being a canadian woman.

    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

    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.

        Even as an American and as a supporter of the freedom of these federated model, I have to wonder if there should be a mandated taxonomy. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s freedom of expression, but I want there to be some basic organization such that I can be an informed consumer

          If anyone is allowed too much power, like billionaires, or any anti-democratic institution likefor-profit corporations get too big, you do not have a democracy-federated or not. It’s like trying to judge the flavor of a sandwich after dipping it in human shit-it mightve been a good or bad sandwich before, but no sandwich is good like this.

          As the technologies of control get more sophisticated, you’ll find more and more that any attempt to have democracy without metaohorically decapitating those problems just means more resources are turned to those technologies, more of society and its mechanisms seem convoluted and inscrutable.

    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.

    I’ve blocked quite a few very popular communities because I don’t understand their language. I’m guessing they’re still popular? Europe as a whole, seems to be quite popular (or it was, I’ve blocked them).

      I’ve done the same with anything sports. if it’s sports related, it’s blocked and the one who posted it blocked as well. I want nothing to do with it.

      starting to also consider anything us related too.

      other languages are fine for me, I just skip past em.

        You can also filter out keywords like Trump, Elon, GOP, etc. Generally this excludes shit from their little tribal conflict but retains post that could be of interest.

        You were getting sports?

        It’s not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it’s not a lot.

          used to get sports yeah, not anymore. the starwarstrek stuff too is also blocked for me. that was over the top. I do really appreciate that we have the ability to hide things we don’t ever want to see. that gesture alone makes Reddit useless

    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

        And they removed Stinky. That’s what the news was about. Since it happened in the US the mod removed it as “doesn’t belong to world news, purely US internal news”, despite it being reported on Yle.fi and being about most known Finnish characters.

        Ah, always catch a few self admitting Putlerites by tossing that hook out.

            I think you’re using words a tad too large for your vocabulary.

            What would acknowledging how pathetic, tiny and pitiful cowards anyone supporting Russia or Putler be contradictory with?

            Like I said, it’s so nice of you to step forward and admit what that you’re a coward who’s perpetuating the things he knows to be false.

            It’s honestly like 95% of the time that every single thing you pretend others have, you yourself have. So you’re as struggling with dissonance because you know what garbage all Russian propaganda is, but you’re too scared to even admit it to yourself (even when you know it to be true), because you’re afraid of “falling out of a window”?

            If you guys went to school you’d know how shit your propaganda is. You got pissed that I’m mocking Russia for the third world autocracy it is, with some lame “whatabout Gaza”

            We are against Gazan genocide. Like we’re against pathetic Putlerites committing warcrimes on Ukrainians. If you’re Russian and you’re not protesting you’re pathetic as fuck

            But you won’t be against displacement of Ukrainian kids, because you like to suck Putler cock
