I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.

Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.

      It also directly goes against their rule 3 which is “no discrimination”.

      No, in a space that’s dominated by Americans, and where the base politics forum is US-only, this isn’t discrimination. It’s carving out a space for everyone else.

      You don’t get to take over every space your eyes fucking see. You’re not Mufasa.

          Ok, but what you described is literally discrimination against americans. Just because they’re american, doesn’t mean its not discrimination.

          Oh noes! Sumeting isn’t abowt me! Dis must be wut discwiminashun is! Help! Help! I’m bean oppressed!

          QQ all day long, I guess.

          If you changed the word “US” to a middle eastern country, im sure that’d receive a lot of backlash, but since you mentioned the US its acceptable. /s

          Your convenient and bad-faith lack of understanding of power imbalances doesn’t make you not a giant crybaby. Go home. Y’all seem to love your isolationist imperial hellscape, just stay there and keep your nose out of what other people are doing. The rest of us don’t want you around, anyway.

          By your logic bathrooms are discriminatory as well. Each instance can set its own rules, if you don’t like the rule then block that instance. Problem solved.

        Many times I’ve seen things about the end of the us To be treated like the end of the world. Some time legislation that would be considered irrelevant in other countries. Some times things about the collapse of us government. Economical issues that would that implied improvement somewhere else are treated as a collapse matter because it would threat us (or west) hegemony.

        I will check this /c/
