Is this some sort of US problem that I'm too not-US to understand?

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Public transportation in USA sucks, and people from USA often use we on social media platforms, assuming they are the majority :P

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It’s because US companies dominate the internet, plus English is the de facto language of discussion. I’m not sure how to deal with this since we probably are the majority.

You're third, after China and India. Now tell me how those don't count ;)

Your moral and intellectual superior was not talking about literal population, but that wasn’t the point. I was saying that US citizens most likely predominate US sites that are written in US English.

[–] stjobe@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That was number of online users, not total population. And 50% of internet companies are Chinese, only 6% are American. I'm sure you'll twist that fact to suit you too :)

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Number of online users has nothing to do with what your superior was talking about. This is like saying most of the world speaks mandarin or something. Maybe you should learn how to think before being an obnoxious prick to your masters.

They don't speak English, so they're just not present in these forums. Way to needlessly start ab argument tho

India has a billion english speakers. But they do tend to their own sites/fb
