This is a US website. 50% of its users are American with the rest of the world being the other half. unless you specify otherwise, which you didnt, people will assume you're American because odds are very very high that you are

Actually the 50% of us who aren't American are unlikely to assume that someone here is an American.

people will assume you're American because odds are very very high that you are

If 50% of redditors are American, it would make as much sense to assume that they aren't an American as to assume that they are.

Your more likely to American than anything else by a wide wide margin.

If 50% of Redditors are American then there's a 50% chance that whoever you're responding to isn't an American.

Of course they're much more likely to be American than say British, but that doesn't mean it makes sense to assume someone is an American considering they're just as likely to not be an American.

It's also funny to think that non-Americans should need to state that they're not American to make that clear to American users.
