I hope more “Americans” (*) reading this would take it to their heart and check what they’re posting, commenting, and up/ down voting. Change starts from ourselves.
(*) Americans is a term I am not comfortable with, but there’s no alternative, right? I am from South America and always pissed me a bit that up there they are “the Americans”. Is like the argument over the Gulf… only that it was never discussed :(
On that, I think it took an extreme, real caricature to make me more cognizant of that. Like, it’s mind boggling that some are cheering on the Gulf renaming, but I guess it’s a microcosm of what’s been going on for a long time.
This would be a fascinating social experiment.
Ban Twitter/Facebook while the US keeps them, and see how the populations of the two countries diverge.
Speaking as an American, it would also be awesome if the fediverse explodes in Europe, and the dominant topics/discussions shift to EU focused ones.
I too would love less America and all my social media feeds…

I feel the need to apologize for my country. Sorry!
