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.
Wow you're right, didn't realise that was explicit before.
Feels pretty selfish of them to do that on lemmy.world
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.

Let's be the change :-)
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.
Hey now - I'm at least not there right now.

Sort by new and you'll find it's a bunch of Germans too. Ich liebe meine deutschen Freunde der Nacht.
Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.
@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!
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.
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
Well, there are a lot of penguin posts here.
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.
