Please. All of this is mostly US politics. Please do not hijack “world news” to mean whatever new shit Desantis or someone else said this week. Every other magazine/community/whatever is already full of that shit. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

US politics already swamp out most of the content on the entire fediverse. It may seem like the world to you but there’s almost 200 countries on this planet that are not the US.

PLEASE DO NOT.

Thank you.

    Wait do they think local is only for the USA? like somehow outside their borders local politics don’t exist because it is all some how “international”? Wait, does that mean they think when the USA does foreign policy that it is not “international”?

    Wow, the mental gymnastics needed to be a member of the USA must be tiring.

      They’re trying to defend their choice of community name (arguably not doing a good job in my opinion). A lot of people have been complaining in other communities and I think they’re getting defensive. Personally I think they chose poorly but ultimately it’s not my call, so whatever. Only ones who can force them to change would be lemmy.world mods. They’re saying there’s no such thing as generic politics and that it’d all be local to somewhere so their claim to the name is fine (at least that’s my interpretation based on what you said). Again, I disagree with the quality of their choice but I accept that it’s their choice.

      We won’t know because the discussion is forbidden. I’m sure they’ll point to some ever changing reason like all good politicians

        We need to make a new /I/politics then. I think we should call it USpolitics and the first rule is no Politics from the US. If people ask why, we can say politics was already taken by a group that only allows politics from the US.

                Just keeping the record clear. Modlogs are public so everyone can see why your comments were removed.

                I have not seen any “hostile mods” on lemmy.world and everyone has the ability to put in a username in the modlog and see that you are lying. You had two comments removed total, but because of being uncivil to community members.

                  I’m aware of that, I’m not an idiot. I was on Reddit for 16 years I’m used to hostile mods… the why is a lie. at. Keep acting like there are women and children here to protect from my incivility moron You’re just making excuses for deleting anything I was fucking talking about. You’re proving my point. now leave me alone. I don’t fucking want to be harassed by you in other communities after you ran me out of yours.
