C/politics@lemmy.world being US only is weird - eviltoast

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.

    “Shit I Said on Reddit”, “Speed of Lobsters” and “ComedyNecrophelia” are so singular to Reddit that it makes no sense to bring them here

      Or, if people want to make and participate them, they can do that, and if you don’t like them, you can block them.

      What gives you the right to decide what everyone else gets to do?

      I liked comedynecrophilia and their variants, how is that specific to reddit? its literally not. it’s just painfully unfunny stuff that is so unfunny that it is funny. just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy it.
