Why !politics and !news are US centric and then we have !worldnews for the rest of the world? Am I the only one finding this slightly arrogant? (lemmy.world)

No one is stopping anyone from putting world politics and news in those threads are they?

The mods over there are, actually. Read the rules there.

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.
