You guys should spend more time curating your social media feeds, and less time complaining that the default algorithm/most popular content is "too American". Lemmy is as bad as you are lazy. OP complaining that there is "too much American politics" when all they seem to do is post in generic political communities, sometimes even directly referencing the US, is pretty stupid.

How do I curate American politics out of my communities? Genuinely wondering.

block the politics communities

The thread and OP are talking about specifically too much American politics and news, not all politics and news. How do I "stop being lazy" and specifically curate American politics out of my feed?

Use software that lets you block keywords

It’s hard bc we don’t have an extensive suite of filters, curation tools. We’ll get there eventually. Though idk if kbin or lemmy is going to move forward on features more quickly. Isn’t kbin largely a single developer?
