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.

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

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

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

You can always leave to another instance or make your own if you don’t like the admins. Proper democracy in action. Wasn’t like that on Reddit.

Only fair if you use a generic name like “politics” and make it only about US.

So should all instance users get to vote on what every community is for? Do the creators and mods of that community not get to decide that?

True, Lemmy users act like a bunch of landed gentries and Admins really shouldn’t allow this! /s

If it was on an instance named america.yeehaw that was clearly US centric it could make sense in that context.
