Along the same lines are the “Americans forget that other countries exist” comments.
Does American culture have a problem with ethnocentrism? Generally yes. Is reddit an American website where the vast majority of users, comments, posts, and topics are American? Also yes. When I’d see one of the “you’re an arrogant asshole for assuming this post is about the US” comments, I just assumed it’s someone being pedantic and contrarian for the sake of it. It just ruins what is sometimes a valid point.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
Basically github.com/zloirock/core-js runs the majority of the web, yet no one gives a shit about the single person that maintains the library for free, and is also stuck in Russia. Guy is perhaps the most experienced JavaScript developer alive, ensuring that you can use new features consistently across all browsers. The library requires constant maintenance, so dependents such as babel.js, who rely on core-js for core functionality, are dead when he decides to drop it. TC39 ignores him, even though people from babel get a say, even though babel is essentially a fancy wrapper around core-js. Being a maintainer truly is a thankless job.
I like Lemmy a lot more than reddit but not having the sports communities over here really kills the usefulness for me. My main use on reddit is talking baseball/football/hockey/soccer/basketball and the sports world just isn’t over here.
Then you have to wait. And advertise your community on social media or something… you started a community it’s not going to open right away. It takes time for people to find it
