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.

    Petition the admins to create rules and apply them retroactively. Otherwise any other attempt to force your will is in violation of the fediverse. The community did not break any rules and sometimes shit sucks. Feelings don’t get you what you want. I agree the naming convention would be better. But it’s still entirely arbitrary. Shouldn’t a community just called “politics” discuss political science and the concept of politics? It didn’t say “worldpolitics” either. If someone created a “baseball” community and dedicated it to US baseball, I’d agree the name isn’t the best, but there are no names. Lemmy.world said it’s open to anyone. It never said it’s communities needed to follow any arbitrary naming conventions.

    You’re right. It would be better. But a lot of things would be better in the world. Create a world politics community elsewhere. Everyone complaining about one single instance are not understanding the fediverse to begin with.
