    Idiots. I mean it’s true, this is kind of advertising… But for the Fediverse! And we kind of like the Fediverse here. Especially in the community called “Fediverse”…

    I can see how you’d make this mistake though. If your horizon is just Lemmy and you don’t know anything about the broader ecosystem we’re in, this post might look a bit off.

      it really grinds my gears the shocking number of lemmings who think fediverse == the lemmy regatta. it’s like being in arkansas and thinking the united states is the entire world

        Heheh, yeah. Especially since that happened in a community which is specifically about the broader Fediverse. You’d think people there know their stuff about… well, the broader Fediverse.

        But I also get the American perspective a lot here. It is how it is. Many people don’t factor in that things work differently around the world. They take the US perspective for granted. I guess it’s not really obvious unless you’ve seen other parts of the world and pay attention that this platform also connects you to a bunch of Germans… That means I sometimes won’t get what someone is talking about. But on the other hand I get to learn a lot about America…
