Lemmy world -> politics = USA.. it feels so wrong but well, the block button is there for something, isn't it?

    Why create this community on the "world" instance (hosted by someone from the Netherlands) and call it a general name but make it specific only to then tell people to go to the community that needs to use a specific name to cover a general subject (which they need to do because you hijacked the name they would logically have used when you should have used a specific name)?

    Because lemmy.world absorbed a lot of reddit users, and this is how it was on reddit

    And it shouldn't have been like that over there but we still had to make the same mistake over here? Guess Lemmy's Canada community needs to accept bigotry then, if it was like that on Reddit then it must be right 🤷

    I'm just being descriptive. You asked why, that's why.

    I'm not saying it should be that way, or that it should not be changed now that it is that way. I'm here for US politics but I'd be happy if this became a world politics community and I had to subscribe to c/USPolitics (or whatever) as well.

    Please rename the community to US Politics if that is the only topic allowed.

    Kinda gross how chauvinist americans are in taking the default term "politics" instead of "US politics" while ignoring international affairs. It was gross on reddit and it's gross here.

    Really would be renamed US politics in my opinion since this is a .world instance.

    Theres no political debate happening here lol. Just a lot of circular tugging.

    Isn't that just 10k subscribers in your local instance?
