Constant complaints about “US defaultism” on an American website where nearly 50% of its user base is made up of Americans

Yes, we know the world doesn’t revolve around America- and I’m not in the business of defending the US much these days, but the next highest percentage of nationality of users on Reddit is the UK with just over 5%, so it makes perfect sense that in a lot of cases, discussions here will default to an American perspective.

I posted on a pop music subreddit that an (American) artist had announced the release date of an upcoming project, and I had people getting mad and saying that I shouldn’t use MM-DD-YYYY date format because Americans are the only ones that use that format and “it’s giving r/USdefaultism” - yes, this is an announcement of an American artist’s album release, posted on an American website. I don’t know what you want me to tell you.
