World == USA

Incredible US bias here to the point where many discussions completely ignore the existence of the rest of the world.

Lemmy is actually worse than reddit here. The only network that at least tries to be cosmopolitan is Mastodon and that's why it just feels so much healthier there.

    I mentioned how HDDs could be broken down fpr secure data erasure and then trashed (read recycled).
    Lemmy user immediately read and assumed "landfill".
    Well...There are countries in the world that don't have massive landfills (we in Germany replaced those with coal mine pits :p)

    Yeah. I've had several discussions talking about what happens in other countries and someone starts complaining about how it is typical American behavior.
