There's stuff that crosses boundaries though, especially when it comes to US news.
For example:
A US soldier crossed the border into North Korea and is now being held captive.
US news? World news? Both? Neither?
I agree. US is not the only country in the world, and should not dictate a community like this. If Americans want to discuss politics they should make a com about that, and let the general /c/politics be international politics.
I thought the instance name was just a name and had no meaning in that way (being international or smth) About posting about other countries ..yeah O agree that is US centric but Lemmy is a niche..way smaller than reddit is (at least in my country) so is already hard to find people from other places and specially writing about things not US related. I don't mind if this community is all about US ..when people from other places start creating their own politics communities I'll just join them.
It annoyed me on reddit as well.
"R/collapse" is just about us collapse, for example
Me too.
I'm on kbin and when the world news mod here decided to allow US news, I went and made my own news with ~~blackjack and hookers~~ no US news, @worldwithoutus.
So you don’t want world news. You’re specifically cutting out a world power from your news.
Yes, I am specifically cutting it out, like it says on the tin. I get plenty of news about that world power from all the other news communities I subscribe to.
This is the great thing about the fediverse, there are several world news communities that do include American news if that's what you want and you don't want multiple news subscriptions.
The more the merrier.
