I think this is a very real observation, with not much that can be done.
The best non-USA people can do is to participate and share/produce content which is not US-centric (ideally in their native language too). Unfortunately many communities, even non political ones, often still default to a US-centric perspective and culture, which makes it hard for people to participate.
It's hard to dance around it, more people are needed.
[email protected] is quite active, on top of the languages communities like [email protected] or [email protected]
!europe[email protected] comes to mind as a somewhat political community, with a non US focus. It however has a lot of Germans in it.
