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.

More than weird, it should be corrected.

How quickly we want to become Reddit I guess.

Well, that community is just as toxic and block-worthy as the reddit sub already. Mission accomplished.

I was more meaning wanting the admins to fuck around with the communities a la /u/spez.

That seems to be the nature of people who want to discuss politics online.

It’s the actions that Reddit took that were the problem, not admins taking action in general. But as long as there are alternatives from federation I don’t see an issue with admins doing something about this, whether or not I agree with it.

Are the admins deleting global content or something? If not, wouldn’t correcting it just be more people from other countries posting their own political news?

It’s part of the rules:

Must be articles relevant to US political news. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed.

It should change its name to US Leftist Politics. The mod u/YoBuckStopsHere is responsible for 80 percent of the posts and its comes with their bias. Their mods also delete posts and dont enforce the TOS. If you want to have any educated discussion about politics, thats not the place. Its a very close minded, hostile crowd over there.
