This is another example of US centrism. This is [email protected]. 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 [email protected].

Why don’t you go start a different community if you don’t like this one rather than complain about it? I don’t think it’s fair to tie the location or domain of the instance to your argument. Communities should be hosted on whatever instance they want with whatever content they want.

There’s no problem with having a community for US politics, but then it should be called [email protected] and not [email protected].

Currently it is not allowed to post about politics (unless they are US-related) on the community called politics. That’s the issue.

It’s an issue for you. Most people would just say, oh well, and then properly fuck off.

Have you seen the votes on this post? Currently that’s 200 upvotes vs 32 downvotes. So ~2% of the subscribers upvoted in the last two hours. But I guess, these 200 people are just my multiple personalities or something.

The votes are not relevant. The rules are. If you don’t like the rules then just leave. Maybe my opinion is unpopular in this case but that’s mostly because I’m giving you a truth you don’t want. This sub is for US Politics. Don’t like it? Don’t join.

Many instances do not allow downvotes. I don’t agree with your post but cannot downvote it.

I’m not complaining, I like no downvotes, downvotes are usually just a way for people to vent frustrations wothout articulating them.

But, you can’t necessarily use votes to draw the conclusions you have.
