It could easily be a coincidence, but I do wonder if it says something about, like, the slower pace of Dreamwidth and its embrace of asynchronous communication, that I meet so many Australians on here.

(who cares if we have opposite schedules, we'll just have conversations in which responses are spaced twelve hours apart, it's not like this is Discord)

On Tumblr you hear jokes like "you know you're up late when you start seeing Australians"†, but here the process is more "*wakes up, goes downstairs, turns on laptop* ah, time to see what the Australians have been up to today".

†I would like to point out that I *do* read my entire Tumblr dash, in chronological order, but there does seem to be a common assumption on Tumblr that people don't do that.

I'll admit the slow, asynchronous pace of dreamwidth is one of the reasons I like it. I don't keep getting left behind, or left out of conversations, by the Europeans and Americans as I would in a faster or more ~chat-like site.
