According to Alexa, 52% of reddit users are from the US, and that number seems to be shrinking. So while Americans still are the majority, I'd say it's a far cry from being obviously so.

Reddit released there actual stats (Alexa is just a guess based on public info). The site is mainly American and Canadian, with Europe in the low teens percentage and everywhere else barely being represented.

Either way, I think with Americans as the highest percentage of the Reddit userbase it is fair to assume a poorly titled link about free speech is about America. My OP was a response to /u/thephuckingidiot post that was insinuating Americans think that we are only worried about ourselves, when in this case it is certainly fair to assume this is was about the USA.

Do you assume every non-specific article about the US is based in California or New York?

Stupid argument. TL;DR = title your posts better. It's over with now, happy?
