Its unfortunate; I speak as a US-ian and the way we make echo chambers rather quickly is not only surprising but annoying. Like I have to make a solid effort to go beyond my enclosure and find more global media and people from all over, because if I'm not careful I'll accidentally end up in one of the US bubbles and practically have start over to refresh it. One of the best parts of some of the communities I'm in is that they tend to be global, so I at least have that edge but I know for some it can be difficult for users to reach beyond what they know. They just tend to assume everyone they talk to is american.

Well put and I'm sure you directly benefit from your effort. Its not always easy in terms of peer groups is it? Ironically I went to try and follow you before realising thats not possible here- Right there is a real difference between here and mastodon et al... So its about "topic" rather than ppl- Interesting... So now I need to reactivate Mastodon to stay connected with you. I was using openvibe but there's only options for BS, Mast & Nostre- was disappointed i couldn't include Lemmie. There's potential in this and seems a better fit to include Mastodon with Lemmie rather than Bluesky but thats probably my bias at work??? ;)
