Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

Isn't LW hosted in Europe?

@[email protected] Well, I'm not really into sports (I'm far detached from the stereotypical Brazilian who likes to watch Corinthians x Palmeiras/Flamengo x Fluminense/etc at Fridays while they're gathering with their friends in a bar while drinking cachaça, I'm more of a nerdy and friendless person), but indeed, soccer/football is definitely part of a cultural aspect shared among European countries (especially Germany, Portugal and Spain, as far as I know) and Brazil (as well as other South American countries, such as Argentina).
And I'm far detached from stereotypical Indian who likes to watch cricket and bollywood/local movies.
I guess lemmy has a self-selection bias.

I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country's politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

Don't ever look into Indian politics. It will fry your brain.

Let's not bring the Netherlands into this. I can get the gist from English or German, but Dutch is right out. Weirdos.
Ah nee we liggen eruit jongens

The trick is to block feddit.org domain.
Nah, just block the ich_iel community. The rest is majority English

Rarely I see a French post so I have a look but it's usually random news.
French memes are so boring, half of them are about bakery and stuff.wrote last edited by [email protected]I think there's a place for a community called 'epiceriedumemes', a play on words denoting both variety of content (like an epicerie) and spicyness (epicer).
Then again, it also really invites more bakery memes, so idk.

À ce rythme là, ce serait préférable que le cirque nucléaire au sud.
At this rate, it would be preferable to the nuclear circus South of the border. Where can I read more?

c’est parce que lemmy.world (et la plupart des instances) est anglophone, donc a un biais américain/britannique
moi je propose que tout le monde parle dans sa langue maternelle, pis de toute façon les logiciels de traduction sont rendus assez bon on va pouvoir se comprendre quand même
(/j)
américain/britannique
C'est compréhensible et logique, bien sûr, mais <<américain/britannique>> est douloureux à voir en tant que Britannique.

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.
I seek out the non-US perspective. Sometimes you need someone else to show you that the Emperor has no clothes.

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.

Oh don't worry it will affect us alright, it's just that we don't have any say in whatever happens there.

Like any of us do? I'm just waiting for lines to be drawn where I know where I can stand.

we only have dirty corrupt diddlers on each level of hierarchy. The prime minister is a "gyaan raat bhar, kaam jhaant bhar" kinda guy. The media is sold. The opposition lacks strength. Politicians get way too much power for doing Literally nothing.
I believe India is in "USA but 50 years ago if smart phones were present" kind of situation

You are a citizen of the state. You might not be able to do it alone, but it's your mess to fix, when all other means fail (voting, institutions etc).
