Sure, petition to rename it. I don't think anyone would care, except the folks feeling suppressed by American exceptionalism.

Or, idk, start your own world news instance with super strict rules, zero US stuff. No one is stopping you. Isn't that the point of this platform?

Ok buddy.

😉

I "barged in" to a thread on Lemmy, a public forum where all are supposedly welcome? Are you seriously trying to exclude me based on my identity or background?

Do you think "supress" simply means "not up voting non-US content?" Okay, maybe I got that one wrong.

But you really don't get how hostile you guys come off toward US folks who are just existing?

I mean, your comment is the very embodiment 9f the anti-US sentiment I see from so many. What are people supposed to do to appease you?

I would love to see some examples of these minority topics being down voted or suppressed since it seems to be deeply affecting international users' experience.

To me, it seems like you and the OP resent US users for simply existing in an online space without putting forth any solutions to the issue. Are you sure you're not trying to find ways to justify anti-US bias?

If you want the space to have more equal representation, why not produce high-quality content that appeals to your fellows rather than moaning about people who by your own admission mean no harm?

Speaking from personal experience, prepaid cards rarely work for these types of transactions. If you think service providers don't know the difference, you're kidding yourself. There are good reasons to demand a real card.

Same. But I don't think the Russians or Chinese would give two shits what I think about them dominating an online space lol

Also pretty sure Iranians are struggling to get online rn let alone take over an instance

No, unfortunately that is simply untrue.

The payment processor in the article, Stripe, does indeed work with crypto businesses and allows users to keep a crypto balance, but you would need to convert to regular tender to book a room at a Radisson (at least according to their website).

Sadly for the hodlers, while you might be able to buy your coke and hookers with Dogecoin, the hotel will want a credit card on file.

So, you're saying that US users on lemmy.world are keeping other nationalities from talking about issues or viewpoints relevant to them?

Earth 2.0's soft launch was met with modest success, but some far-right critics claim the day 1 patch, which removed racism, bigotry, and hate based on identity, makes the game "unplayable."

God he is so good at losing money rn
