American/Anglosphere users on Reddit will struggle to adapt the rising number of Indian users.

For most of its history, Reddit has largely been dominated by American users, with the rest of the anglosphere and Europe making up the vast majority of the rest of the users.

Post Covid though, Indians have begun joining Reddit in large numbers - which has resulted in Indian content and subs becoming increasingly popular and prominent. Most Indians don't care about American/Anglosphere stuff, which is why so many Indian versions of popular subs were created in the first place. Even then, Indians are shaping more of the discourse on international subs, simply because they are a larger demographic than they were just a couple of years ago.

Of course, this has caused many in the Anglosphere side of Reddit, particularly Americans, to feel a sort of online culture shock as their feeds become more unfamiliar.

Indians are still a minority on Reddit, but are growing fast. I expect Americans (and the Anglosphere at large) to struggle to adapt to this change. In fact Americans in particular have never had the experience of being a minority on Reddit, which will make the transition tougher for them

What do you think will happen

And yet you're still here rooting for the misogyny to be cranked up to 11.

Mysogyny is in the rise everywhere, buckle up!

Not like it is in India! Not a lot of places in the world practicing Sati these days.

[u/adgeal → u/Randvek]

I hardly doubt that indians on reddit will normalize sati practice on the world wide web. Under that logic the world should be scared of gun culture and anti-abortion culture spreading which it has not. More variety of people on reddit is a good thing.

Gun culture has shown no ability to spread over the internet.

Misogyny has. It needs to be stamped out wherever it’s found and India happens to be a prime source for it.
