It made sense on Reddit, being an American company. I am sure British or Australian social media has a similar assumption. (Please list them below.)

It makes less sense here.

It was kinda funny when lemmy was just taking in the reddit exodus crowd and people were complaining that their front page was full of German and Polish posts.

It makes sense, but it hurts. Sometimes I talk about niche Asian stuff and get blasted by people assuming I'm American.

It doesn't make any sense at all. The world wide web is gasp world wide. Reddit is an international platform which deliberately appeals to an international audience, regardless of which country the company is situated in.
