@yurnidiot wow! What sort of cat is that?

@feditips @David then it should be easy fix you to make this change! 😀

For what it’s worth, I AM technically American (though I haven’t lived there in decades), and I have plenty of connections to the country. Recovery from societally induced US-centrism is difficult, but possible.

@feditips @David you can indeed only recommend accounts that exist, but you can also be careful in how you call a feed, by not promoting the idea that US-based things are somehow “general” or the default. Thanks for making this change.

@David @feditips ALL of this.

@feditips @David that’s not the point. The point is that if a feed consists exclusively or even mainly of AMERICAN news, it should be called “US news”, not “general news”. So far, the Fediverse has not been a US-centric place, and that’s a delight. Let’s preserve that, not change it.

@David @feditips this this this.
