Maybe you should try posting more often then ;)

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!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

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

Aren't the majority of English speakers from the US?

EDIT: The USA has 3x the population of the UK and Australia combined and the USA appears to be the home of approx 60% of native English speakers. However there are billions of speakers if you include it as a 2nd language. Which Americans don't speak 2nd languages so we obviously don't count that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

What's your definition of first/second language if you grow up bilingual?

The majority of English speakers aren't from the US, though the US does have the most English speakers. Important distinction to make!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I'd just like to mention that plenty of ESL users speak English more than their native, and that the country with the most people who use English for interacting with the Internet, it's probably India. Indians communicate to a lot of their compatriots in English, since they are also an ex-British colony, and have a large variety of native languages.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

No, it's roughly 20% (297M/1537M). Source.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

English (excl. creole languages) l1 380 million l2 1.135 billion total 1.515 billion

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah its 50/50, either you're a USA English speaker or you're not

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.

...Anything written in English, and you can usually filter that even more by just looking for people using too many U's.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

And when you do use those ⟨U⟩ (I do), people assume that you know what's going on in the UK (I don't.).

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

people using too many U’s

You mean people using British spellings right?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why whateveur dou you mean?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol ngl that's probably how a French accent would look like spelt out XD

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (8 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (11 children)

NOW, but when Reddit started, and therefore the now infamous subreddit names were first doled out?

Sorry, anything with or without / everything not ich_iel

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What? Like the World Series of Baseball?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The name fits, it's just that the only people in the world who give a shit about baseball are from the USA.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Japan would like a word, but otherwise, fair enough

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Puerto Rico and Cuba also love baseball.

The SMX "World Championship" just finished. It only takes place in the US.

Not on Lemmy. Om Lemmy you're 50% German, 50% American unless proven otherwise.

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.
