Just sell stuff. It was tricky to open the account without providing an email.

So I think it's just about how you tailor your feed if it's going to be an american-centric or not.

Hi from "an Englishman here in Spain!"...

Can't avoid the US aspect, but there are significant numbers of people from around the globe (including the US) who just want to socialise.

A bonus? The use of hashtags can be used to filter any unwanted interaction away from your timeline.

A nation is not its populace.

Nor is the populace a nation.

Too many politicians WANT division between peers as together we CAN tell them they are neither needed, nor (in some cases) wanted.

There is a very active group of Australians you might like. Aus Social or something like that. Sorry, but I don't remember the exact hashtag.

Enough already, LOL, there are a lot more topics to discuss and viewpoints to share. So far, Mastodon is a lovely place. Thank you for the welcome!

Americans, yes (including myself). But American-centric? Not that I've seen. Many of my favorite follows are N-A (Non-American). There are lots of gardeners of various sorts who are very active on here. Also, if you like such things, this Saturday check out
Welcome to the land of discussions, not arguments. I hope you will enjoy it. Even the weirdos like me.

Bits will filter through, unfortunately, as people use a whole range of epithets to talk about him and his cabal, but it will be kept to a minimum.

You can also filter individual posts, which helps if you don't want to see them a second time.

Muting and blocking are also very useful, and you can mute for different time periods.
