A Masto instance would have been cool. But that is just garbage.

mastodon (like lemmy) is the epitome of uncool

you know you’re not forced to be here, right? 🤫

As soon as a better reddit clone comes along I’m GONE

But I doubt it, even Mastodon which is German got overrun by Americans and American politics

Americans are EVERYWHERE

I’ll be honest Americentrism annoys me too, but we can hardly complain when we’re on lemmy.world of all places.

America is the largest Anglophone country so you can’t really complain about them being numerous on an international English-speaking audience, not exactly their fault they did a lot of baby booming in the late '40s.
