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

[…]

  1. 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.

    Ultimately, that being said, this is a terrible precedent to overthrow a community that has broken no rules.

    What?

    I don’t see any pitchforks being waved in the thread.

    Can you point to a comment that even vaguely suggests what you claim?

    It’s mob mentality and censorship.

    What?

    Asking (politely) a sub name to reflect its content is mob mentality and censorship.?

      This is not the first post on the topic.

      Edit: if you wanted to ask nicely, you ask the mods. Not the literal population. The population can only affect change through one means. The mods can change it through another. Social dynamics are a thing. You reading the word “please” doesn’t make it polite. Especially since you yourself made denigrating comments in this post on the topic already. Don’t act dumb.
