Dear #Americans of #Mastodon, you have a wonderful opportunity that is rarely granted to you. For the first time, you're in an online public space that is not American, that is not centered around the US, and as I'm typing this, a place where the majority of users are not Americans. You can open yourselves to the world as you've rarely been able to before.
So please, stop expressing yourselves like the US is the default country here and that most users are Americans. We're not. Love.
@davidb I've been appreciating those differences. More polite, for example.
@davidb
The non-American default is one of the Mastodon characteristics I like best, right after the non-algorithmic feeds & robust list features.
