    You can call it out when you see it, and we’re all better off for it when you do. One of the most recent comments I wrote was exactly that: someone trying to Americanize a comment chain about Pakistani elections. I shut that down without hesitation.

    American or not, online we’re a global community, and it never hurts to remind of that reality when needed.

    And also, doing so tends to fuck up the agenda of political trolls, who WANT to Americanize and divide every possible thread they can. Calling it out, you hit two birds with one stone: bonus.

      Very refreshing indeed. Glad we have less to feel like we are all using a specific country’s website
