Yeah reading the mod log there. Those are Reddit mods on lemmy thinking their fiefdom is hyper specific when lemmy just isn’t that big to have country specific politics communities.
And frankly to remove videos of relevant nature or articles because “hunter biden isn’t a politician” is just not using your big boy brain. Of course he’s not a politician but his case sure as hell is political and is being used as a political football. To argue it’s not is just crazy.
Sounds like, in light of this, the instance admin should probably take a look. Seems a little crazy to me.
Thats a valid option. Problem is, the user base of most social media si overwhelmingly from north america. When having not as many users from other regions, its difficult to have a balance. I agree that there should be a community specifically for US news and politics. Also, i bet the second most large user base is western european.
I mean. Lemmys filters arent always just straight upvote related though.
Things like Hot or even New Comments are based on clicks and discussion/participation.
Its probably true that certain countries or events would dominate some of these more active submission (ie: Ukraine War, US Politics) but theres still plenty to be seen.
I dont know. There will come a point where some level of delineation is needed. But the complaining and arrogance, especially coming from someone that has posted a total of 1 other time, seems…drama.
Again you’ve added a good point.
Although i have empathy for op, since me too i lurk most of the time, never posted, and yet i see the thing being centered around either the us or europe.
No one is stopping anyone from putting world politics and news in those threads are they?
Like moderators aren’t removing content.
I feel like we could use some more submissions from these other regions.
The mods over there are, actually. Read the rules there.
