More diversity of opinion.
More national diversity. Lemmy is dominated by Americans and Germans, then a handful of worldwide Anglosphere, and Europeans. Asians, Middle Easterners, Africans, Latin Americans, Indians, etc. are practically nonexistent.
Spirituality and religion are barely talked about.
As a Romanian, I'm doing my part!
I feel like I stand out so much lmao.
I am a American citizen but I'm was born in China and I feel like my anecdotes just stand out so much lol... like remember being in a US classroom and I was the only Asian there... that's how I kinda feel like... The only other ethnic Chinese here are like 2 HongKongers and like 1 Mainlander in Europe and like 1 Taiwanese
The Asian Diaspora comm has like checks notes yea it's in the single digits... like 3 members of the diaspora I think. (shameless promo: !theasiandiaspora@piefed.social)
As for spirituality... sometimes I mention the idea of reincarnation as a hypothetical and feel like some atheist is gonna be like "ur stupid"
I mean I'm not gonna wait for help if there's a flood, not gonna be that guy that "waits for god to save him", but I still think about reincarnation a lot... it's kinda just part of the philosophy of the environment/culture I grew up in... its like I grew up with a weird mix of Chinese culture stuff at home... (like... as a kid I used to watch a lot of Cantonese and Mandarin tv shows...), then also the western (American, to be specific) stuff outside of home and on the internet.
But I'm so glad the fediverse doen't have the bullshit like "Omg u don't have enough karma / your account too new / we find your account doesn't meet our requirements, your post has been automatically removed"
You do to me, lol
Every time I see your flag I immediately recognise you
I‘m happy you are here.
