Most english speakers in non-anglophonic global south coutries come from the rich upper-class or the urban middle class. The working class usually doesn't have time or how to study a new language when they barely have time to learn their own (this is not a huge problem in regions where one or two similar languages exist, since they can easily talk to eachother, but that does allow the local elite to communicate with the global north better than the working class).

It applies to place subreddits in Anglophone regions too though, like US / Commonwealth cities

sure but you'd naievly expect anglos to be terrible while not expecting r/vietnam or the like to be where the children of traitors hang out and badmouth the revolution, but for the class character of english speakers who would use reddit. (to the extent that location sub users are even from there and not feds or basement nazis making shit up)
