You live there, I don’t.

The user you replied to is on a German server, it's very unlikely that they're from the US or live there. Who is doing US-defaultism now?

As a general rule, Lemmy is not nearly as USian as Reddit, if you always assume that a user is USian until they say otherwise in the thread or their server has an obviously non-US URL ending you're going to be wrong a lot.
