Lemmies, We just reached over 10k subscribers, thank you all for helping us grow from our small humble beginning, to now the capital for US political debates and news.

I think I can mention it. I mean, why not?

There was a cool subreddit back there, r/USdefaultism. We should do something like that here.

whats even more egregious is the errant space after "politics" making it read "politics @lemmy.world"

Why create this community on the "world" instance (hosted by someone from the Netherlands) and call it a general name but make it specific only to then tell people to go to the community that needs to use a specific name to cover a general subject (which they need to do because you hijacked the name they would logically have used when you should have used a specific name)?

Is it your belief that baseball is solely a US sport? US is just where the best players most often play. Other nations are not prohibited from the ML. See the Toronto Blue Jays (World Series champions in 1993)

Why would you subscribe to something in the first place without knowing anything more than its title? Bizarre.

Only perfect descriptor names allowed on the internet. Better change my email address for the irritable dudes in this thread.

This is how federation works, people.

If these kids could read they would be hella pissed at your comment asking them to take some personal responsibility for their subscriptions.

Personally I don't subscribe to Better Homes and Gardens, and I don't write in to complain that they don't display apartment buildings inside.

Why? There's no popular community named "sky is blue". There's no reason to discuss basic truths.

Do you do anything other than whine? Boo hoo hoo, no one likes people who are trying to eradicate vulnerable minorities! Waaaah! People keep calling them nazis just because they're marching with nazi flags!

Yeah no one is trolling. This is what we genuinely and sincerely believe.

The Americans trying to present themselves as the default is a significant problem brought about by their place in global hegemony. They do this and defend it viciously everywhere because they are nationalists, even the democrats are incredibly nationalistic.

Ideally as america declines and recedes from a position given to it by ww2 fucking the rest of the world over its population will slowly accept this and start acting like a normal country that accepts it is not the centre of all things and should not be treated as such. It is one country out of many and there is no reason it should not be treated and present itself just like all the other countries out there.

This will take a long time to happen though. American ego will need to be smashed first. As well as the incredible nationalism at the heart of most of the population, this is the hardest part though because americans see no problem with their nationalism, this despite the fact americans wave more flags everywhere than a nuremburg rally.

The rules of the channel state:

Must be articles relevant to US political news. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed.

It would be reasonable for this channel to be dominated by US politics if that was simply a consequence of the demographics of the site. It is not reasonable to appropriate the name 'politics' in the largest instance that also happens to be named 'world'. This is the equivalent of someone making a channel called 'food' and forbid posting anything that isn't traditional Scottish cuisine.
