  • As European travelling in Asia at the moment, I notice this a lot.

    • Americans tend to speak louder, especially in groups
    • You seem to speak with deeper voices. But that could also be just my imagination.
    • You seem to speak more since you do a lot of small-talk. That’s something not so common in other countries.
    • And since many people speak English, maybe we just notice it more since we can understand it. When there are let’s say loud Chinese around, it’s more like a background noise.

    There are loud people from all countries, and Americans are at least pretty nice usually. But in my opinion it’s true, you are also louder than most.













  • Very sad to hear but totally understandable. Unfortunately, this will make the centralization of lemmy world even worse.

    How much effort is it actually to host a small instance? I am thinking about hosting one mostly for my self. Mainly because I am interested in the technology. Also my country doesn’t have one so that could be a topic too if there is some interest. But hearing this I am not so sure anymore. I can’t put many hours into it each week just to keep it running.




  • My company is making exactly the same mistake right now. I simply can’t understand how a European company can still make itself so dependent on Microsoft at this point. We Devs have raised the issue to our bosses, but there are still a lot of old MS fanboys around. Some people have to learn it the hard way.
