[QUOTE="buzz88, post: 2487628, member: 87806"] I am on lemm.ee and it feels empty or old/stale news activity-wise most of the time. I still visit reddit on desktop but refuse to use their phone app. About the India hate, it can't be helped. After Americans, we are slowly becoming the biggest user pool on the internet. The Chinese are locked behind the great firewall. Other nationalities just can't compete with us on numbers. Earlier the world used to get exposed to a lot of American stupidity or strange behaviour or American exceptionalism, and now, they are also getting bombarded by the same stuff from Indians. Average Americans are thought of as dumb and sheltered due to their online behaviour. This is going to be worse for us as they have some saving grace like Hollywood, TV, music, tech etc. The good things about Indian culture such as food, movies, cricket, tech are not going to be enough to undo the damage. Lots of Indians post creepy comments on celebs/athletes/music icons' pages and it creates an image of India that is neither wholly true nor completely false. The news going out is always about weird stuff like gomutra or age-old customs or crimes like rapes or lynching. A few ISRO missions a year will not be able to counter the daily news to save our image. My two cents is to stop worrying about it. We will be able to defend this image only if and when we collectively become better as a nation. We pretend to have progressed enough to compete with developed nations, but we have many miles to go and especially as a society, we are very far from 21st century ideals. [/QUOTE]
