I don't know where to put this, so I'll just reply to you. Maybe we should trust the German when it comes to these matters. Like when my German professor warned my classmate not to go to school in Florida because it's fascist. Trust the German.
I'd say most people are Chinese, but that's not correct - a quarter of the world's population is East Asian. This is the largest group in the world.
So, I'd say that's an odd quantifier that doesn't really seem to have any support or credibility or relevance. Seems based on entirely nothing, actually. Further more, were that true or even possible, what's your point?
On my feed, at least, I have my frontpage set to whatever the kbin equivalent to "all" is. I see lots of other languages beyond English populating - particularly German. The Lemmy instance I chose when I initially made my way to the fediverse operates out of China. They're chill over there.
I dunno. I think if you're only finding people discussing the US here, then you've probably accidentally pigeonholed yourself based on your own interests. The fediverse is diverse.
This is it. The US has gone so far right that centrism seems left wing. I have been generally comfortable with the tone of the conversation in the fediverse. Occasionally, I'd like to pull the conversations further left. I've been peeved or mildly disappointed, but never actually enraged or flabbergasted. Conversations have been pleasant and reasonable, even when I disagree with what's being said. It's been pleasant.
Dude, my dad said almost exactly the same thing to me all the time growing up. He tried to make good on that statement on the regular. He also voted for fucking Trump.
?
Many, many people idolize Elon Musk. That is an incongruous comparison.
