Seriously, I'm not from the USA and I'm not supposed to know the names of American senators, MP's, governors or lawyers, or of who shot who, or who had a panic attack in an airplane, or why people are shouting at each others at a mcdonalds drive-in. Does any american ex-redditor know the name of a single european politician besides Merkel?
The news cycle proposed by reddit is filled with american politics ad nauseam and by ragebait. The european subs of reddit are filled with russian shills. When you add up all of this there is no point into opening reddit for the news.
Lol way to put it in perspective, I know maybe 2 politicians in all of Europe. Idk when, Reddit used to be global but it's gotten incredibly America-focused, and maybe that's just with the size but holy crap is it annoying now - and I'm American. I get bombarded with politics daily, can't I just have a place that's just memes?
