@kevinashworth Apologies if I come across as a US-hater. I am not. 'Just don't want to hear about Trump and his cabal all day, every day. #never51st
@vcallinan Filters are virtually essential to avoid hearing about Trump as they will remove a lot of the dross. 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.

@clickhere Hey there! Thanks! No idea where the name came from. Long story.
@vcallinan You're very welcome indeed. I hope you're enjoying things around here. Most people are very lovely and wholesome (and if they're not, don't hesitate to mute or block!).

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 #caturday
Welcome to the land of discussions, not arguments. I hope you will enjoy it. Even the weirdos like me. -

Welcome to the land of discussions, not arguments. I hope you will enjoy it. Even the weirdos like me.@HMLivy By American-centric, I mean that the majority of discussions on the other platforms are focused on the US (good, bad, etc.). 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!

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. -

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.

@vcallinan
Nope. They should show up in your feed just fine. One of the more active is @dgar -

@vcallinan somehow a lot of the content I see is in German. So I think it's just about how you tailor your feed if it's going to be an american-centric or not.
