No offense, but HN and Reddit are both American created, operated, and primarily trafficked sites. It's not unusual to assume an American audience.

If OP came out assuming a Nairobi design that wasn't used anywhere else, or if they went to the heise.de forums and posted the above; now that would be odd/call-out worthy.

It looks like more than half the traffic is not coming from the US. So even with most traffic coming from the US many here aren't. Good news is that Ikea had a system like that. So there will be many households in Europe that's also fighting with blinds.

Sure, my only point is that telling Americans to back off of/check themselves in spaces that are their only ones just because English happens to be the most spoken language worldwide (especially in the tech-savvy communities) is always weird. Especially when ~45% of the traffic is American.

If an American that spoke German did the same in a German-majority space they would be met with pretty massive derision.
