This is another example of US centrism.
This is politics@lemmy.WORLD.
From the name there is no indication that this wouldn’t be about world politics.
Please rename the community or change the subject to world politics and create a community like uspolitics@lemmy.world.
But it’s not in the url and it’s not in the name.
Again, I agree but the mention of reddit tells me they are just trying to recreate r/politics in the fediverse.
When I first saw m/politics I knew it would be US centric.
The saddest thing I see here is people creating clones of subs, making themselves the mod and the subs lie empty as they don’t want to actually create content just be a mod. They are not creating a community, they are just name squatting.
I doubt it’d even due to cloning. It’s just due to how Americans refer to politics. America is much more insulted from world events, so world politics is less talked about except in how it affects America. News stations, media, television, academia, everything, generally refers to it as “politics”.
Ultimately, that being said, this is a terrible precedent to overthrow a community that has broken no rules. It’s mob mentality and censorship. It is in violation of the fediverse principles. I even agree the naming convention would be better, but I don’t think it should happen unless the admins make a rule.
What?
I don’t see any pitchforks being waved in the thread.
Can you point to a comment that even vaguely suggests what you claim?
What?
Asking (politely) a sub name to reflect its content is mob mentality and censorship.?
This is not the first post on the topic.
Edit: if you wanted to ask nicely, you ask the mods. Not the literal population. The population can only affect change through one means. The mods can change it through another. Social dynamics are a thing. You reading the word “please” doesn’t make it polite. Especially since you yourself made denigrating comments in this post on the topic already. Don’t act dumb.
Petition the admins to create community rules. Otherwise I see no issue. I don’t follow it, but I also don’t think you can steam roll a community that hasn’t broken any rules simply because of your feelings.
