And blocking this annoying user.

Wouldn't make a difference for me, I speak spanish so I can't post at all because every instance/community is english only.
Feels even worse when someone posts good news from my country but it's just propaganda and manipulated numbers, but since every actual critic was kicked out of mainstream media long ago, the fediverse won't accept whenever they post now and it wouldn't matter because they speak spanish anyway.

Yes, I know I could host my own.
No, I don't have the means to do it.

Whoa! I never knew you were a Canuck. Glad you're better off.

But we should be used to this centric viewpoint. We have Toronto and our own country's fixation on the toronto-niagra-montreal Triangle of Journalistic Relevance, outside of which no one and nothing matters.

I try not to hate the yanks just because the news fixates on them for the same reason our news fixates in its own way. And I've met so many smart and caring yanks that are just not being heard in their own country.

Yes. It's still a problem. What's your point here?

Their behaviour is not their fault, but it's still their responsibility.

If its an international news sub I think one post form each country perday is fair. I don't need to have a minute by minute update about drumps bowel movements and how awful they are.

And yet we still can't identify half our own states on a map. To be fair, there are a lot of rectangles.

Of the four examples listed, three are just up bullshit.

1. Tesla flew off a bridge which happened to be in San Francisco. Would've posted a similar thing if it was in London or Kuala Lampur.
2. Taylor Swift happens to be American. Her fanbase is global.
3. Trevor Noah is a comedian born in South Africa, talking about comedy festival in Saudi, being attended by comedians from everywhere.

please share those words.

Newfie too. I'm the best of the best. So definitely aware of how centric the rest of Canada can be, trust me.

The point is that the solution is to sub to various country-specific news subs instead of general news subs.

Such places do exist though? e.g. !politics@piefed.social says:

Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it’ll be 99% US stuff, but that’s not a rule.

And there's !usa@midwest.social:

Welcome to !usa@midwest.social, where you can share and converse about the different things happening all over/about the United States.

And !usnews@beehaw.org:

News about and pertaining to the United States and its people.

There also used to be !usa@ponder.cat and !news@dubvee.org, although both were on instances that no longer exist.

Also, "World" communities outside of Lemmy.World do a MUCH better job of allowing USA news but not letting it dominate the feeds - e.g. !news@beehaw.org.

You may want to broaden your horizons beyond only those large communities on Lemmy.World - especially since those subscriber stats are fake (the Users / month are likely better but the Subscriber counts in particular include accounts of people who tried Lemmy for a brief time before noping back to Reddit, never to return). An analogy: leave the toxic sheeple to argue over how to fix their Windows machines, while you embrace the beauty of learning to use Linux - it takes some slightest of effort on your part, but you will be glad that you did.

No, it's for Americans to stop spamming the general news... ahm... subs? You need to go back.

They aren't spamming. There are just more americans, who are posting at the same rate as other people from other nations.

What else do you expect from TrickDacy? They hate anyone they made up in their head as the bad guys.

You can't expect Trick to read! He hates you for being right and his favorite power tripping bastard being proven wrong.

Edit: Because Trick is blocked due to being a troll:

• No I don't have an alt you fucking weirdo.
• No I'm not a bot because I have a memory of active users. "Everyone I don't like is a bot!" Is the argument of people with no point in life.

But he’s not racist, and he’s not half the other things you’ve accused him of. Just because you didn’t fully get your way doesn’t make it his faul

Ask him if black lives matter. Ask him about Matt Walsh.

And here's PJ slandering you because he knows you can't read him.

Pug is shouting into a void at us, still making shit up and pretending to be on the left as he hates anarchists, communists, and anyone vaguely against the status quo. Gotta love how he's just so normal.

And it's pretty telling you hate someone documenting your favorite moderator's actions.

It could be worse. You could live here and have everything in that news keep you in a constant state of distress and anxiety.
