Lemmy world -> politics = USA… it feels so wrong but well, the block button is there for something, isn’t it?
c/globalpolitics is what you want.
World Politics - Lemmy.World

— # Political news from around the world. *** No U.S [https://lemmy.world/c/politics], U.K [https://feddit.uk/c/uk_politics], Ca [https://lemmy.ca/c/canadapolitics], Aus [https://aussie.zone/c/australianpolitics], E.U [https://feddit.org/c/europe] politics Posts must be related to Conflict, Politicians, Nation-states, Electoralism, or International Relations Posts and Comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service [https://legal.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)?
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.
