this must be a us thing, I'd say over half the people have in Ireland have iPhones but nobody cares really, if anything my custom rommed Poco f3 has gotten a bit of interest from a few friends
Same. I mean I haven't been to highschool in a little over ten years, so I can't say what kids are using these days. But here in Australia, none of us really cares about what phone you have. Though I think most of us were Samsung users.
There should probably be a sticky post on every article about anything US related. Something like,
"DEAR NON-AMERICANS (ESPECIALLY EUROPEANS). THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT AN AMERICAN PHENOMENON. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COME INTO THIS THREAD AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. YOU MAY SIMPLY MOVE ON. CHEERS."
Seriously, it's a good 1/4 of the posts.
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for the article title to specify it's specifically about the US, then? The US is the only country that doesn't do this and it's really annoying when just browsing (especially since lemmy.world is hosted by a Dutch individual using software made by Europeans).
Your "suggestion" is far more condescending.
I see articles all the time that don't specify the country.
I think that would be a good blanket rule for every post. If it's a news article, list the country.
I feel like most non-Americans understand that not everything is about them.
It's the Americans that need to learn that not everything is about them. (Not saying that you don't, but there's way too many Americans I talk to who think that the world revolves around them).
