C/[email protected] <mailto:C/[email protected]> being US only is weird (lemmy.world)

I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.

Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.

There is a world politics as well as other regional politics communities on our side bar. We suggest subscribing to one of those if your more interested in those arenas of political discussion.

You can't even join a different instance to avoid to influx of annoying Redditors polluting the quality of content.

Reddit formed bad online habits in people that DONT need to be brought here. I like it here, but I like it because it's NOT REDDIT

They could change it so it's only news about world superpowers. Results would be the same though.

If Lemmy.World just becomes Reddit 2.0, with shitty mods and annoying niche ~~subreddits~~ communities, I'm going to hate Lemmy just as much.
