outrageousmatterLemmies, We just reached over 10k subscribers, thank you all for helping us grow from our small humble beginning, to now the capital for US political debates and news.
SiegfriedLemmy world -> politics = USA… it feels so wrong but well, the block button is there for something, isn’t it?
YoBuckStopsHerec/globalpolitics is what you want.
World Politics - Lemmy.World

Why create this community on the “world” instance (hosted by someone from the Netherlands) and call it a general name but make it specific only to then tell people to go to the community that needs to use a specific name to cover a general subject (which they need to do because you hijacked the name they would logically have used when you should have used a specific name)?
Why do you think there are rules for community names? There are no rules or expectations (at least not yet) for community names.
The well-known answer for why this community is named this is that it is a recreation of another community that was also named this.
And it shouldn’t have been like that over there but we still had to make the same mistake over here?
If you don’t think of it as a mistake, simply an inconsequential detail, it makes perfect sense to retain it as a form of identity, so people that switched platforms can feel like they moved as a group.
I wasn’t putting words in your mouth, you are acting like they have somehow done something incorrectly, but that would imply there is a correct way, which would imply rules for how to do it, official, unspoken, whatever idc.
Anyone can make their own group on a different instance and call it the same thing. If you don’t like how lemmy.world works, don’t take it out on the mods here, either find another instance, start one yourself, or if you have to, take it up with a lemmy.world admin
Because lemmy.world absorbed a lot of reddit users, and this is how it was on reddit
And it shouldn’t have been like that over there but we still had to make the same mistake over here?
I’m just being descriptive. You asked why, that’s why.
I’m not saying it should be that way, or that it should not be changed now that it is that way. I’m here for US politics but I’d be happy if this sub became a world politics sub and I had to subscribe to c/USPolitics (or whatever) as well.
