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 agree, but that is very subjective, don't you think? I'm interested for example in the post that said Trump is suing Twitter. I won't waste time reading the article most probably, but the news is amusing nonetheless. So what decides whether something is interesting enough to the whole globe or not?
