Instead of complaining can someone who dislikes this decision please just create a community like "AskLemmyUS", post a link here so people can find it and get on with it?
That's what I've told so many complaining people. If anyone wanted to they could make one and it would be filled with users in hours, just click create community. Hell tell the mods here to suggest people go there for those discussions, they'd probably link it in the sidebar. But someone has to do it. (And as a mod of a few other communities, someone else can take that one)
After today's defederation of discuss.online with hexbear.net, and the post Could Discuss.online become the go-to USA instance?, I created the !askusa@discuss.online community (anyone with an established Discuss.Online account and reputation want to help mod it?). The instance admins don't want such controversial material like USApolitics, but AskUSA as a nice, friendly community to have neat discussions in is perfectly compatible with the mission statement of my home instance!:-)
I modeled the community name after !AskUK@feddit.uk and made it a sister community, along with this one (any others that should be added?).
