Yes because this community definitely doesn't have a huge bias towards US culture.

    Makes you wonder if the demographics are skewed towards Americans. Or maybe others are not that vocal about their local culture?

    Any fellow Europeans here?

    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?

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

    The Dutch are usually pretty good at announcing their presence, as they will flock to anything even remotely associated with their country. Just look at the comments on a Not Just Bikes video and you'll see for yourself.

    They're also massive shitposters, so expect to find them in the less serious parts of the fediverse.

    Both provide great strategies to pull them out of hiding.
