    … in a World News community that happens to be hosted on an Aussie instance. Hi, I’m an American who came to Lemmy via a .de instance because that’s where the most-active Machinists communities decided to move/mirror/whatever from Reddit.

    Maybe you’re right that trans-bashing would be a bad idea on blahaj, but is getting possessive/territorial about an international problem really the best look?

    That said, did I call this an Australian-media problem? It’s worst on British media. Honestly, Australian media seems a little better about the headline name thing than some of His Majesty’s territories to me, or I wouldn’t even implicitly make a joke of it re: an admittedly, eventually-discernable-as, Australian article.

      You do understand American news does this all the time too, right?

      Do you think everyone in the world knows who Ted Cruz or AOC is?

      Dunno if you’ve ever heard the term “American Defaultism”? But this is a good example of it.

        Again, did I call this a uniquely Australian problem? Did I even mention Australia in my initial comment? Claim Brittain had a monopoly on it? In all honesty, I don’t even follow any (national)US News communities - I have no need to, because even the unimportant US shit is all-but-unavoidable across almost every community or outlet.

        Okay, admit it. Emulating tabloids is just tre highbrow and suffering complaints about it from such as myself is below your station.

        Here, something of mine for you to chew-on, pick-apart, stab me with, whatever, since I besmirched your beautifully sincere and authentic local media outlet that isn’t ape-ing a behavior that pervades western-media in-general to your detriment and mine, at all.
