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.

Well, not literally “whatever they want”. There are community guidelines to consider.

In this case, the problem is not the content but the name. If the title of the community is [email protected] but it has a rule where only US politics is allowed, then someone done fucked up somewhere.

Not really. Not all the rules can possibly be spelled out or gleaned from the title of a community. You have to check out the community, read the rules, and then determine if you are interested in participating. Reddit was no different.

Is your argument that it’s too hard to add two letters to the name of a community to make it clear what the subject is? [email protected] is too hard? Really?

Also, this would allow for a [email protected] to exist, that is actually about politics in general.

The current situation would be like a supermarket that’s called “General foods” and the only thing they offer is apples. If you only sell apples, that’s fine, but then call the damn store “Apples only”.

No, your argument is that it’s not hard to add two letters. My argument is that it’s not your business if you don’t like it. This whole post is silly. Just don’t participate or find a community more aligned with your interests rather than trying to coerce something out of this community. This is the Internet. Somebody made a community and you don’t like the name. Who gives a crap? Just move on to somewhere else.

Well, if you don’t like my post, then read another one. You reading this post is silly. It’s the internet, just move on to somewhere else.

Bravo. Now I’ve been totally owned by my own argument. I don’t know how you did it. So clever of you.
