This is another example of US centrism.
This is politics@lemmy.WORLD.
From the name there is no indication that this wouldn’t be about world politics.
Please rename the community or change the subject to world politics and create a community like uspolitics@lemmy.world.
Edit: For all those saying “Well, just post stuff that’s not about the US”:
The issue is that currently the rules forbid exactly that.
Rules
[…]
- Must be articles relevant to US political news.
This is the point that should change. It’s not about how many posts will then be US-specific or not, it’s just about whether you are allowed to post about non-US-stuff.
According to https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, lemmy.world isn’t even hosted in the US, but instead in Africa.
The creator is a Netherlender.
Interesting, I wonder what the rationale is behind that?
Why it’s hosted in Africa? First, it’s just the data reported on fediverse.observer. I am not totally sure it’s correct. But if it is, it’s probably to avoid regulation/legal issues.
