Define "here". This is an international community

I'm going to guess that he is American, only Americans think the world is flat and oddly shaped US

[–] Chicagoz@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Weird, seems like a lot of flat-earthers are from the UK. Not sure what your point is.

We all know a yank asked this one. They always assume we are all from the US.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No we just assume that if you know the question’s directed at Americans you’ll be an adult about it

It gets tiring constantly seeing Americans treat the Internet like it's for them whilst people from other countries have to change the way they type so that Americans can understand better

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You’re perfectly welcome to make your own spaces, and assume they’re for you.

Americans don't have to make a US variant of every community though regardless of if the person who created it was from the US or if the topic even relates to the US at all
