Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.
America is a continent and Americans are people from that continent (Canadians, Usonians, Mexicans, Cubans, Argentinians, Brazilians…)

BlindIRL seems niche, but he has more than 50.000 subscribers.
Only at reddit? Take a look at lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml.
Why do people keep calling him Prime Minister when he’s clearly President?
TIL lemmygrad.ml is right wing.
Me: Finally I have my ADHD under control, I feel so good.
My ASD: Hold my beer.
I don’t know what that has something to do with what I asked, honestly.
I’m not allowed to take ADHD stimulants.
Firing doesn’t exist in public service. Suspension of job and payment does, but only under circumstances specified in the law, which is not the case.
unless PeerTube finds a way to pay content creators
Google is a for-profit organization. Framasoft, which developed PeerTube, is a non-profit one. The only way to pay content creators is when people donate money to PeerTube and then PeerTube share that money with creators. Which is also difficult because there are no trackers to know internally who has more subscribers or which video has more views, etc. Internally as using a tracker, but you have to visit one by one every channel and every video to know its numbers.
There’s so much hostility
Same here, to be honest. Except for Beehaw, every other place seems like a no-mod/no-remember-the-human land.
I’m ripping and tearing in Doom 2 megawads… until it is done.
And some governments, like Germany and The Netherlands.
To me, it seems like you and the OP resent US users for simply existing in an online space without putting forth any solutions to the issue. Are you sure you’re not trying to find ways to justify anti-US bias?
If you want the space to have more equal representation, why not produce high-quality content that appeals to your fellows rather than moaning about people who by your own admission mean no harm?
EDIT:
I always do that, but only if I have the option to edit it. If I don’t, then maybe I delete my comment and start over, or maybe I don’t.
ADHD and ASD enter the chat: “May we join?”
There is no need to read those languages. Translations are still a thing. I remember that, while on Reddit, r/Europe posted links in other languages, but OP provided an English translation. So, yes, you can post national news in your official language, whatever it is, and post its translation, and now you have an international community or instance.
But it seems I’m the only one who posts links in my official language (Spanish) on international communities.
I already do, not every day but sometimes, when I see something worth to be published. You can check inside my profile.
I don’t use stuff from that continent (in fact, as far as I know, Kbin is European, and lemmy.world is even based in Europe). But when I browse through all, majority of content is related to US somehow, and majority of comments are related to something in the US too.
I can block communities and instances, obviously, but generic communities are being pushed to US culture somehow, despite having allegedly users from other countries and continents. And there is no filter, unfortunately, so either block or get bombarded by US-related stuff
Well, after some very obscure search over internet, I found something that solves my issue (maybe yours too in case you want to install packages as user).
If you use Lubuntu (I don’t know whether it works on other distributions), you have to go to the folder
/home/[youruser]/.local/share/flatpak/repo/
. There is a file there calledconfig
. Open it, and write something like this:`[core]
repo_version=1
mode=bare-user-only
min-free-space-size=500MB
[remote “flathub”]
gpg-verify=true
gpg-verify-summary=true
url=https://dl.flathub.org/repo/
xa.title=Flathub
`
(By the way where it says
true
, I set it asfalse
, thinking that was my issue).Now, when I install OBS Studio as user, it lets me.
PS: if GPG verification is set as true, make sure you downloaded the flathub.gpg file from the repo and copied it to your local folder as flathub.trustedkeys.gpg and flathub-beta.trustedkeys.gpg
