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.

    It’s negative discrimination - when you try to limit the overwhelming power of one group over all others. That’s the reason why lots of governments have laws that mandate e.g. the minimum number of female employees etc. It is to mantain some balance.

    All kinds of world news is dominated by USA relations anyway. People don’t need that and to read about every school shooting and presidential fart as well.

    Another topic, but related: I mod at [email protected]. Since basically all the ps-related news is about the PS5, I’m asking people to post news and stuff specific to PS5 into its own community. Am I discriminating against PS5 users? Perhaps, but what’s the point of having two comms with 99% copypasted content, with anything else being drowned?
