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
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…
>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.

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.
These are my current muted words, got more on my mastodon account
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.
Let’s be the change :-)
Yup

Hey now - I’m at least not there right now.

“worldnews”: American local news
It ain’t even local news. What we have now, is anybody’s guess.
Corporate shitheel news.
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.
“worldnews”: only in Ohio
It’s not even “news” - a lot of that shit is just Clown-President does yet another thing that a Clown would do.
Ahhhh…I get you…like the World Series.
Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.
Sometimes my feed is like half German memes
Lol, I just translate them and laugh along with em.
I’m American, sorry.
Now do it in German 😆
