instances are like countries with their own constitution (rules) and police (mods). This means that two communities in different instances may seem the same, but they are not, because they have to follow the rules and culture of their instance.
Just like a Technology club in Japan will not be the same as the Technology club in the US because they will be culturally different. I think it will take some time for the Fediverse to think this way.
For me, this is better. Instead of having one giant technology community where your comments and posts are drowned out, we can have different technology communities with their own culture and norms, just like we visit different countries. Your comment and posts will be not drowned out.
It is a different paradigm to the centralised one of Reddit.
Yep, if you're not from the US, instances are vastly superior.
Imagine all the times people from around the world asked for plumbing help on Reddit and got hit with "that ain't up to code, buddy, get to ass down to Howm Deeepo" ๐
Americans do tend to assume the internet revolves around them, as they're a bit insular and don't see that it really, really, really doesn't
Seriously? Aren't the anti-USA comments getting a bit tired by now?
They are tiring honestly, I agree
These two comments prove my last sentence
You don't notice the "anti"-everything comments, only the ones you perceive as "America-hate"
And by the way, nobody hates you, you're just really bad at dealing with sarcasm
No, they don't. I was addressing specifically the anti-American sentiment that seems to be the "hip thing to do". Nothing more, nothing less.
Just because I did not mention any other energy wasting hate speech does not mean I am not aware.
I still expect better from you.
