    Why are there so many people assuming every lemmy user is from the USA

    Sometimes its bad for mental health to continuously see all the bad things that are happening in the richest country in the world

      Same as Reddit, Americans don’t seem to be able to comprehend that there are other non Americans on the internet. It’s crazy.

      Bonus points for people saying ‘here, where I’m from, not in my country’, they are all from the US. Anyone who mentions where they live with zero context and assumes you understand is a yank.

        It’s always funny seeing non-Americans assume that the problems of America are unique to America and that anyone talking about those problems can only be from America.

        It’s terrible for your mental health to be constantly bombarded with “the sky is falling” news.

          “the sky is falling” is implying that what’s being talked about isn’t real. The rise in fascism is very real and very global.
