If you're out of the loop, I found this article fairly helpful for a primer on the issues. It's CNN, but I can't be arsed to find a more kosher source.

Life is hard and complex. Be kind.

Humans generally choose and behave based on how we feel. That's neither good nor bad, it's what we are--emotional beings.

The risks of social interaction is often the cost of meaningfulness.

Sorry, what do developers abandoning large housing projects have to do with longevity of train infrastructure?

Perhaps, neither of us seem to have statistics here so it's a little moot. But I was talking more about my impression of Lemmy, the scope of OP's question, rather than the internet at large. I'd be curious to hear your alternative explanation tho!

Yes, that is the implication I was making to answer the original question. The majority of content here is in English-->the majority of English-first users are from the US-->this is why Lemmy seems so US-centric.

I was being a little obtuse because it's like a French-filtered user asking why social media seems so France-centric even though there's lots of social media in Africa--there are other languages that people use that you're not necessarily seeing on your feed.

Maybe it has to do with your language settings as well? I imagine filtering out English will make your experience much less US-centric.

That's... What an AI generated review is.

If budget is the top of your list, EVs currently have high depreciation. You can easily find 2-year old EVs with low mileage for 50% off MSRP.

I didn't say it's the same system, there are several different ways and degrees in which modern slavery exists. Trapping and exploiting migrant/seasonal workers is another popular one. Modern slavery exists from the US to Brazil, China/central Asia, Russia, Türkiye, even in parts of western Europe you'll find it in smaller or less obvious amounts.
