Yes because this community definitely doesn't have a huge bias towards US culture.
Makes you wonder if the demographics are skewed towards Americans. Or maybe others are not that vocal about their local culture?
Any fellow Europeans here?
Actually when I moved here from Reddit I really enjoyed that it seemed like the perspectives weren't so US-focused. I don't know if there were really more non-US folks or if maybe the more left leaning userbase meant I noticed it less. But now I feel like I've been in quite a few threads where US dominance was in full force, like the one asking why weed is illegal but alcohol not, or anything that mentions gun control.
Weed is not illegal for the majority of Americans, funny enough. Europe is a different story.
Yes
There are more lemmy servers hosted in the U.S. than any other country, although they certainly don't make up the majority. IDK about users though.
