Until the rule is removed, any new posts about US politics will be removed.

    Instead of complaining can someone who dislikes this decision please just create a community like “AskLemmyUS”, post a link here so people can find it and get on with it?

      That’s what I’ve told so many complaining people. If anyone wanted to they could make one and it would be filled with users in hours, just click create community. Hell tell the mods here to suggest people go there for those discussions, they’d probably link it in the sidebar. But someone has to do it. (And as a mod of a few other communities, someone else can take that one)

        No, US exceptionalism is turning every single general purpose community into US politics.

        For the 4% of Earth’s population that does indeed live in the US, there could be local communities.

          It’s still weird to me that there is no US instance. LW and lemm.ee are hosted in Europe, SJW and lemmy.ca in Canada, lemmy.ml and hexbear use a European datacenter.

          I mean there is midwest.social and dubvee, but we could have expected a large US instance to have emerged by now.

          The closest is probably https://lemmy.today/, but only has 194 users per month.
