For fucks sake, lately it seems /c/worldnews is just like /r/worldnews, every stupid insignificant thing that happens in the US gets a shitty post here. Could you think twice about posting anything US/Europe related thing? I’m not saying there shouldn’t be any news regarding these places but some times it’s really stupid.

Why should I care if republicans win over there? I dont fuckig care. Why should I give a flying fuck if Trump gets his fucking Twitter account back? I honestly couldn’t care less what fascist shit Usonian politicans post on that proprietary network. Why should I care that the UK pigs are one of the worst repressive organs in the world?

I could go on, the thing is that if you want to post shit about the US, do it in a community regarding the US, unless that news could be of interest to the rest of the world. For example if the US creates a new war or participates in a coup d’etat (and they do it pretty often), that could be of interest to the rest of the world, if not, post it somewhere else. Try to think it this way, would you care to know something similar to what you’re going to post if that would be happening in an African country? Or in a Latin American country? If the answer is no, then don’t do it.

Please let’s try and make Lemmy a place that’s not Reddit, we don’t need to be so Usocentric/Eurocentric, even if it’s hard.

    I wonder if

    News from around the world!

    would be better as

    News that affects the world!


    but for now !unitedstates@lemmy.ml exists

      Yeah, that’s how I see it. If the US decides to bomb a part of the world and calls on its allies to join in, you could say that its “US-centric” but it effects the whole world, and it seems like the world should have a place to come together to discuss the topic.

      The “UK police” link OP complains about I thought was relevant to world news, because every place in the world has police, and many are concerned with their encroaching powers and police-brutality. =/
