There are tons of tankie subs where you can masturbate to false expectations of the planet and openly hate people who you've never met before, check it out!
ironically, tankies usually fall very deep into US defaultism, since everything everywhere is always the fault of the US
Oh yes I forgot I blocked Lemmy.ml, no russian representation
Which nation is lemmy.world hosted in again?
I'll never understand people's obsession over complaining about Americans existing on American websites.
If any instance uses anything akin to cloudflare, Google, a cloud provider or a CDN then this question makes no sense because it's "hosted" all over the world.
Not that it ever made any sense because why would it matter where a website is hosted if it's equally accessible globally? It's not like you have to type a longer URL to hit it from Europe lmfao, and It's not like the internet is some sort of local US thing where you have to hear about it by word of mouth.

as a person that came from 3rd world country, i relate T_T
Not on Lemmy. Om Lemmy you're 50% German, 50% American unless proven otherwise.

Du irrst dich, Brudi - niemand spricht Deutsch hier.
Yo no hablar alemàn
Se hablás castellano entonces complica, ya que no hablo. Excepto cuando borracho*. Aún asi, no es castellano, es más como portitañol...
*de veras, che. Una vodca hoy sería genial.
I have blocked sooooo many german communities and several german instances.
I browse all to get as much new content as possible.
But I have to block a shitload of stuff I am not interested in seeing.
Tja, da verpasst du was...
Just learn German. Just do it
Äh, du kan väl lika gärna lära dig Svenska, det blir enklare för oss båda! (:

Just like Reddit was back in the day.
Ja genau.
There was a fair amount of French language posts too, not sure how much quality and engagement they have.
Well, then have some proof:

...Anything written in English, and you can usually filter that even more by just looking for people using too many U's.
people using too many U’s
You mean people using British spellings right?

And when you do use those ⟨U⟩ (I do), people assume that you know what's going on in the UK (I don't.).
I think you'll find most of the time the British use precisely the number U's they intend to though typos may afflict even the best.

I've heard it called "US Defaultism" where most Americans online seem to assume that everyone they interact with is from their country and all US news is considered significant even when it really isn't.

Tbf it seemed to make more sense for the likes of Reddit, Facebook, etc. Similarly if I go to a Chinese forum I would not assume that everyone there was from the USA.
I've heard this more times, and it's kind of baffling. The US isn't even the biggest individual country on Facebook. What do people who assume everyone is from the US think a non-US "forum" looks like? Where do Americans think everybody else hangs out online?
Given how many people choose to speak their native language in the US (myself included), I guess they assume they post to forums that are in their language.

As a US citizen I think we forget how much of our shit gets out.
I’m always surprised when I go abroad and people are up to date with somewhat niche US info. I was in Hong Kong and some local dude made a reference to the fatass NJ gov who was chilling on the closed beach during lockdowns.
I do feel like I see far more people complaining about US people making assumptions than I do US people assuming. When I’m replying to someone I don’t put any thought into where they’re from unless they drop a context clue.
NOW, but when Reddit started, and therefore the now infamous subreddit names were first doled out?
