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 !politics@lemmy.world which explicitly forbids world politics. It's an US politics only community.

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

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...

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.

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.
