I completely understand the sentiment.

I also understand the sentiment that the internet is effectively a US invention dating back at least to ARPAnet.

I guess what I'm suggesting is: can't we all just get along? At least we can now all communicate with each other.

We are trying to get along. We are already speaking English, which is a massive step in your direction. US commenters and posters don't even bother to convert to kilometres or something. Or the worst: write about something that happened in AK as if everyone knows postal shortages of the US.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

The crazy irony is that those from outside the US probably know way more than those in the US, in terms of stories about Alaska.

No hate here. There will be ups and downs.

At the end of the day, I'm happy to communicate with you.

Don't ever talk about kilometres in here. Are you trying to spark an international incident?

FWIW ich habe Deustch gelernt. Aber ich habe die meistens vergessen 😔

[–] wieson@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dein Deutsch klingt richtig gut 😄

[–] imaqtpie@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 month ago

Danke schon 🙃

If it makes it any better youre more likely to get an American who can convert Miles into Leagues before they even think about kilometers. We dont really use metric for anything, unless youre military or something.

Yeah, but this is a website. Sir Tim Berners-Lee represent!

Plus also, English is an English invention.

But otherwise, you're good.

The World Wide Web is not an American invention. Who invented what is completely irrelevant in this context anyway though.
