I don't get it. Are you saying that lemmy.world has too many US users? Why would that matter?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (21 children)

Because it means that contributions are always leaning towards American viewpoints. From politics being mainly concerned with US politics to comments being written from an English speaking, US perspective.

Would you join an instance with a dominating presence of Russian or Chinese or Brazilian or South African or Iranian users? I hope you can see why it matters now.

If I could read those languages yes probably.

Same. But I don't think the Russians or Chinese would give two shits what I think about them dominating an online space lol

Also pretty sure Iranians are struggling to get online rn let alone take over an instance

I'd expect anyone who's dominating to not give a shit about others, because such a status somewhat benefits them.

Except that such a situation strengthens bias and creates an echo-chamber which may be problematic in the long run but isn't seen as an issue most of the time, I think
