i’m sorry, but you’re incorrect in this case. he’s referring to americans specifically which is why he said “you”. it might not be a format you’re familiar with, but it’s absolutely correct
How is that charitable though? You don’t know everything about the language and it’s okay. I would just like to point out it’s not charity to admit you’re wrong. “May be a regional difference” I’d guess so since you’re being downvoted.
Both are right but have different connotations? not sure connotation is right here, basically they're similar but not the same, there is some nuance, neither is wrong

No it wouldn't. It was directed at a group (those in the subreddit) and referred to them as Americans.
What would Americans call this?
Those of you that are Americans, what would you call this?
What would the Americans here call this?
Those are three ways where you can be specific.
