How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others? (lemmy.world)

My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

I lived in MD for a few years. The flag is everywhere. You can always tell someone from MD, no matter where you are, because the flag is incorporated into their clothing. I've never seen anything like it from anywhere else.

What does 'MD' stand for?

The US state of Maryland.

Do Usain's not realise that the rest of the world doesn't know their local abbreviations?

I know American Defaultism is a thing, but I'm not one to complain when I see people use ON, NSW, etc., either. There are just more Americans online so you see it more.

I'm in Maryland and unsurprisingly have the state flag flying right now lol. It's the only flag I usually have on the flag pole.
