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.
It is doubtful that any meaningful research can be attested to a single country since globalisation. Every technological marvel you see is the result of international research collaborations from dozens of universities, institutes and corporations around the world. It’s very egocentric to assume that the U.S. is the only or the dominant motor of innovation.
I don’t disagree with you, but it doesn’t negate that the first “Internet” was a US military project which was then taken over by predominately US universities and they created the TLD in 1985 before another country did.
