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.

    I think lots of folks have some pretty awful reading comprehension because I literally wrote that ALL posts SHOULD be allowed. That’s because I know what the rules state, thus the second part of my post which stated that people shouldn’t be surprised that even IF they were allowed, the vast majority of posts will still be about the US.

      You are the one with reading comprehension problem here. No one expects most of the content to not be about the US. You bringing it up the way you did was pretty extra.

      My point was that there is no issue with a majority of the content being from some region. The issue is only with the rule.
