is lemmy really this overwhelmingly american?
top 3 posts on new are american, top 3 posts on active are about american politics
fml where is everyone else :(
looks good though
Thanks. You’re right, and thats on me. Most of what you’re seeing comes from the news feeds I set up to pull in links, and they lean heavily American. I’m also EU myself, so it isn’t what I want the place to be either.
Another conversation I had here on lemmy made me realize I’ve been running dboft as a link aggregator when I actually enjoy ... you know... discussion. So I’m rethinking how the instance is set up, and I want to put the focus on conversation, starting with !superorganism@dboft.com. It’s built around Nate Hagens’s idea of the global economy as an energy-hungry superorganism, and I’d love for threads like that to be what rises to the top rather than headlines.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, come visit.
You write like a LLM
It was super late... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Good luck. Looks cool!
Nate Hagens lens?
okay Ima have a look now!!!
Ha, to be clear: the site isn't built through his lens, it's just a spot I'm going to hang around in. Probably talking to myself for a while, but the door's open. If you've read or listened to him, come chat! Here I am dropping Hagens name... as an energy-hungry creature, while building algorithms that connect similar stories on this site. My defence...it runs almost entirely on solar.
yeah, I understand. But as Nate says, sometimes you may need to use the devils tools to do Gaia's work... making stories that fit his lens easier to find on the Fediverse is a great service 😊
Howdy, partners.
Let's raise and rope broncos.
Howdy, y'all.
Y'don't raise broncos, you find 'em! This man's an imposter!
Howdy howdy.
I'm sorry. My entire knowledge of America is based on a short clip in the 1992 seminal classic, Wayne's World.
It's like people only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad.
Howdy Howdy Howdy!
i'm in east asia myself, i think more than half the people on threadiverse are USA-based though.
