I mean… it’s a nice distraction from what’s going on here in Europe. Sort of escapism if you want.
Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

Yeah, with a few exceptions, if you are in Europe you can likely look at our new media and be like “Ha, well, at least I am not there”

Its funny cause no one in the US complained about all the brexit stuff a few years ago and we just read about neighboring politics. Shits a mess here rn and its in the news. Calm down people. You’ll have your mess too.

I’ve blocked quite a few very popular communities because I don’t understand their language. I’m guessing they’re still popular? Europe as a whole, seems to be quite popular (or it was, I’ve blocked them).
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
I’ve done the same with anything sports. if it’s sports related, it’s blocked and the one who posted it blocked as well. I want nothing to do with it.
starting to also consider anything us related too.
other languages are fine for me, I just skip past em.

You can also filter out keywords like Trump, Elon, GOP, etc. Generally this excludes shit from their little tribal conflict but retains post that could be of interest.

You were getting sports?
It’s not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it’s not a lot.

English based Platform? Uuuuh, buddy the fediverse is a global project and hosted in several different countries.

What language are we communicating in? What language is the default for this platform? What language is used for the TOS? What language do the developers use? The Fediverse is a global project, but it’s also mostly English based.

Just item #731 on the long list of things that we in the US do objectively worse than the rest of the world, but not badly enough to get into the news or make people want to do anything about it.
Plus, you know, ignorance. If we polled the American public with the question “The US electrical plug design is the best in the world” I think the results would make us all have the same reaction as everything else coming out of the US: Not surprised, but still shocked and disappointed to have the ugly truth confirmed.

NotSteve_@piefed.ca 1 day ago
I'm not European but I am Canadian and I don't know if Americans realise how annoying it is that any general community like "politics" or "news" is specifically American as per the rules. I was really hoping we'd leave the US defaultism behind on Reddit
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
It is so annoying and it’s my biggest complaint about Lemmy. Every dang thread, the comment section is usually filled with US politics discussion even if it’s a completely unrelated topic.
Serinus@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I wonder if people complained about the German defaultism in 1911 or 1936.
fushuan@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
Tell that to all the non US specific named communities created on LW, that are actually US specific according to rules.
Politics, news... All those communities are actually US specific, while having a nonUS name and being hosted on Europe. It irritates me.

Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 day ago
My condolences. The middle east is a friggin inferno this time of year. Visited a middle eastern country a few years ago and I did not know heat until I spent two weeks in the month of July down there.
Was so fucking relieved when nighttime came and the temperatures lowered to 38C. :'D
I legit don’t know how you guys deal with that heat. I’m in awe.
fozie@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I live in western Anatolia and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Arabs and Russians. In the eastern part of Turkiye’s Mediterranean region, people sometimes take aim at the sun and shoot because of the heat.

what? are you laying blame? or just bummed that no other nations news has a critical mass on lemmy to push stories from other nations on the all page? did you expect that to happen? or are you alleging that there is active suppression of other countries news?

Interesting meme. tbf, I don’t even know what a true world instance/feed would even look like. Is it possible??? Would we just have a single instance where you can choose a language option (wrapper/client type of deal) and it would layer in such a way that would translate flawlessly betwixt user post / reader / commentator??? Sounds interesting 🤔

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.
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
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 (epicier).
Then again, it also really invites more bakery memes, so idk.
(Please forgive my lack of accented characters)
