I mean, we did a whole song about it like 30 or 40 years ago, βWe are the worldβ¦β.

MODERATORS
There's a Canadian Politics community on Lemmy.World too. It's very small but that can change!
There are other politics subs, this is the most popular. You could find a quieter sub that follows what you want.
I just had the idea of making the same post. It's misleading
You could always sub to https://lemmy.world/c/news@kbin.social - kbin news magazine that has worldwide coverage
I agree. US is not the only country in the world, and should not dictate a community like this. If Americans want to discuss politics they should make a com about that, and let the general /c/politics be international politics.

There's stuff that crosses boundaries though, especially when it comes to US news.
For example:
A US soldier crossed the border into North Korea and is now being held captive.
US news? World news? Both? Neither?

Same issue on a few other c's - maybe we need to add "_nonUS" or "_US" to lemmy/c names, or wait until Lemmy adds something like flairs.
