Honestly it feels like some nationalities are just more likely to either spend their time online in general or communicate with the anglophone community instead of just talking to their compatriots.
E.g. the Japanese talk a lot but mostly among themselves. Scandinavians are disproportionally overrepresented on the (English-language) interwebs. People like Italians you hardly ever encounter outside of faceberg.
It probably has something to do with culture, level of education, level of development of a nation's domestic internet segment (local forums and services) and even climate.
I used to play online videogames a lot and have met people from all over. The French were fairly numerous, having the most presence after Germans and Spaniards (though those were intermixed with Mexicans so it's hard to tell), more populous than Poles. Their English proficiency isn't *too* high and the majority prefers to stick to their own. Also, while it's not applicable to the imageboard format, many of them seem to be self-conscious of their accents, especially since sometimes they are mocked for those, apparently, which is a shame because it's underrated.
