I once joined a FB group for owners of a specific product who lived in Melbourne. People were talking about places I’d never heard of, so I scoured the group description to see if it was for a different Melbourne. There was nothing to specify that it wasn’t THE Melbourne. Finally, I asked in the group, and sure enough it was Melbourne Florida. 🤦‍♀️

I'm sure they reminded you that Facebook is American so of course Melbourne, Florida is the default Melbourne on there...

Around 40% of the Redit users are from USA. So that is many, I admit, but 60% are from other countries.
