I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.

Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.

    Ok, but what you described is literally discrimination against americans. Just because they’re american, doesn’t mean its not discrimination.

    Oh noes! Sumeting isn’t abowt me! Dis must be wut discwiminashun is! Help! Help! I’m bean oppressed!

    QQ all day long, I guess.

    If you changed the word “US” to a middle eastern country, im sure that’d receive a lot of backlash, but since you mentioned the US its acceptable. /s

    Your convenient and bad-faith lack of understanding of power imbalances doesn’t make you not a giant crybaby. Go home. Y’all seem to love your isolationist imperial hellscape, just stay there and keep your nose out of what other people are doing. The rest of us don’t want you around, anyway.

      For the record i’m not american, that doesn’t mean i support racism against people who are. And honestly, its hard to take the opinion of someone who speaks this way:

      doesn’t make you not a giant crybaby. Go home

      especially when most others on this thread are speaking civilly.

      Go home. Y’all seem to love your isolationist imperial hellscape, just stay there and keep your nose out of what other people are doing. The rest of us don’t want you around, anyway.

      Thanks for confirming my point about blatant discrimination. Baffles me how people only think that racism applies to certain countries and that if you’re racist to say, americans, its acceptable.
