The amount of Usonian content on Mastodon sickens me (beehaw.org)

Hello. So, since 2022 I visited several Mastodon servers or created an account on them, and I somehow feel uncomfortable on all of them. Either they're filled with activism / politics, which I don't give a fck about, or they're filled with people from the US or people who cares more about US than about their own countries (admins included), and I'm tired of that sht.

I was looking for international Mastodon servers with the less amount of Usonian shenanigans, but it's impossible to do that kind of search, and I don't know any other fediverse place to hang out as a non-Usonian person. Any recommendation?

Always has been, e.g. forums from last century like slashdot.org is US centric since 25+ years even if it's open to the world, like usenet was. Every forum using english language have a majority of users from the US, talking about US "celebrities" and US politics.
