For sure. I saw someone commenting yesterday that Russia invading Poland’s airspace was “a distraction from the Epstein files.” Not everything that happens in the world revolves around America’s shitty probably paedophile president!
Fair, there’s a lot of stuff that should probably be posted in a “us politics” community instead of “politics,” and some other stuff that should be posted in “politics” in addition to other-country-specific communities.
It limits the issue from the user perspective, I don’t see US news anymore.
To address the issue at the core, !news@lemmy.world shouldn’t be mostly about US news, but the mods of that community never seemed interested in addressing that issue.
There is !usa@midwest.social we could try to push people to, but again unless the mods on !news@lemmy.world add and enforce a “no US news” rule there isn’t much we can do.
Which here on the Fediverse, actually seem to go beyond profit incentive. Morbid curiosity? An odd sense of journalistic integrity like if someone externally made a story about it then surely it must be worth sharing here?
Anyway, there’s also tons of anime and people using Arch Linux btw here - just block what you don’t like and subscribe more to what you do. Also if you want something, surely many others do as well so could be worth creating something new to meet that need.
It’s not users’ fault there’s a lot of politics going on right now.
I’d love to see more international politics, not just usa

This comment was a distraction from the Epstein files.

I usually downvote US stuff in news communities. They should create separate community that we all can block. 🤷♂️
Piefed keyword filters allow to block “Trump”, “Elon”, etc.
It’s probably even more effective than banning politics communities one by one

That doesn’t solve the problem of there being too much US related news.

And they’re already busy with something else https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/53505862
Its not just now, it’s been months now. Especially with Trump, have you noticed that users post anything he says? Every little thing.
There are rea$on$ 💲💰🤑🫰🪙
