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.
What are you talking about? No one is saying “Delete this channel”, but rather “Either change the name of the channel to USpolitics or remove the rule that forbids discussing non-US politics in the ‘politics’ channel”.
If you think that asking for the bare minimum fairness that the name “politics” shouldn’t be a default of the US, your problem isn’t that your country is being treated unfairly, but rather that you want your country to be treated with privilege.
You can’t rename a community as far as I’m aware.
So you are asking that.
You’re asking them to either create a new community from scratch or… change the meaning of the community to something they don’t want to do (otherwise that’s what they would have done).
Fairness? Are we four years old? They followed the rules. That’s fair. They got it first. Create a community on another server. It’s the damn fediverse. That’s the entire point. Lemmy.world isn’t literally the world. Stop promoting centralization with this crap.
