[Meta] Can we rename this community to USA politics?
[Meta] Can we rename this community to USA politics?
As most posts are focused on USA politics why not label as such. This community should focus on world-politics or general politic-focused discussions.
Like how parties across different countries do their campaigns, not about how Trump said, he would do a backflip if xy happened.
People don't want to go to anime_titties for global politics anymore? what is this world coming to?
The "About" of this community explicitely refers to US politics, it's a holdover from /r/politics which this seems to be meant to be a replacement for.
Yes. That's the point. It's ridiculous.
Especially because it's a lemmy.world community. If it was on a US-specific instance then it'd be fine but, as it is, it's a pretty bad case of US defaultism.
every. fucking. time.
at some point you just accept it because it’s useless internet shit and there are plenty of other communities that also focus on politics from all over the world.
it’s a plural word yall. a single plural word and the community that got in first originally made it for US politics. they called it politics.
just the same as people adapt on the fly to social media censoring by saying stupid shit like un-aliving because that’s just the way that people adapted.
is what it is homie. if it isn’t, be the change you want to see in the community and start posting nonstop politics from other countries.
better to accept the current solution or be a part of the new solution than only uselessly complaining.
Lemmy does not support renaming yet. Would mean all federated instances would immediately stop getting the pushed instance.
Isn't it possible to change the "display name" even if it's still /c/politics in the URL though?
Yes true. You are correct they could change just the ‘display name’ so the description aligns to what you expect.
You’re free to create your own. That’s the beauty of this whole thing.
Everything your asking for is already linked in the sidebar.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !globalpolitics@lemmy.world
The one thing I truly miss are my own multi-reddits. I could group and name them whatever I liked. Come on Lemmy devs, I know you can do it, if even only at the client level.
I'd rename it into
"Only good propaganda (news and lie) about USA, only bad propaganda (news and lie) about Russia, China, Iran". And neural about other countries in between, just for fun.
Found the tankie!
Really? Who is it?
