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.
Oh for sure. When I joined, servers and communities dedicated to specific countries or even cities had a bit of activity. Used to see a lot of German, Austrian, french, Dutch, Australian and NZ content in my feed. Now only the Germans and Australians, sometimes.
See, I always imagined Aussies as redneck brits, but somehow more approachable and friendly. But as they are quite literally on the other side of the world, I haven’t interacted with enough Aussies to confirm or deny such prejudice.
You guys really as friendly as my imagination suggests?
From my limited experience, kiwis and Canadians are friendly in a more polite/well-mannered way, Aussies are friendly in a more, errr, “colourful” way.

Aussies are just Yanks slathered in vegemite :D

Yeah, pretty friendly i think. Kiwis and Canadians might be friendlier, but we are close.

Cunt is our national word :)
Weed is not illegal for the majority of Americans, funny enough. Europe is a different story.
