Speaking as an American, it would also be awesome if the fediverse explodes in Europe, and the dominant topics/discussions shift to EU focused ones.
I’d certainly love this. I’ve blocked all American(-focused) communities to achieve this already. Honestly, I often feel Dutch people know more about US internal politics than those of the EU or even the Netherlands, and I’ve myself gotten a bit sick of 80% of the news I see being about America (even in traditional media I feel America takes up way too much space).
I think in our media America should have a presence a bit bigger than China.
My main ‘traditional media’ (newspapers, news broadcasts) are all Dutch and German language. Like I said, even there there’s too much of a focus on America.
I’d like to know more about my european neighbors, too, but unfortunately, there’s a language barrier and news reports in english that cover more than the most important stuff is not that common.
We probably need more pan-european media to learn more about Europe.

Quickest way to avoid American content is to not use English.
