    Lemmy needs a tag on posts not to export them to federated instances and put the whole of US politics and culture wars behind it.

    Meanwhile Rule 10:

    A place for major news from around the world, excluding US-internal news.

    One of the best things about the reddit migration to the fediverse is having a local tab full of wholesome local non-US content. It would be nice if we could clean up All a bit more. I would be totally fine if my home lemmy instance defederated from all US instances carrying their domestic politics

    I don’t think continually rage farming us is going to add anything of value. If a whole country wants to drive themselves insane with increasingly polarized and nonsensical crap they need a private space to do it away from the rest of us because it isn’t healthy and I don’t want to participate.

      You are absolutely right, but this rule 10 thing, do you really think it applies? If Trump gets into power again and starts deporting people based on their political views, you dont think that will have repercussions on the rest of the world?

        Exactly. There some US-centred news that don’t have their places here, but the US news that can impact the entire world should be posted here

      Understandable, but this shit actually is going to affect the rest of the world, for reasons not the least of which being you all will likely see many U.S. refugees crossing your borders soon because of it. It’s the same as any genocide, anywhere.
