How about someone start a community called outsideUSnews, nonUSApolitics etc.? Where every country other than USA's news and politics are discussed.

!world@lemmy.world has a rule against United States internal news, which is a nice balance for me, but it can still be dominated by news about ways that the US is affecting things around the world

One of the first things I realized I had to do after joining Lemmy, was blocking some "politics@..." communities (and some people active there)

Completely unbearable.

Rest of Lemmy then turned out to be totally fine and enjoyable folks!

It's not their fault they're taught that they are the centre of the whole world.

It's not only that.
I have the feeling that US mainstream media style is replicated in the comments, aimed at maximizing polarized drama instead of having balanced and grounded discussions.
I can't stand that type of talk.

So many resources are deployed with the aim of making Americans afraid of each other and the world. This polarizes people, who get very heated and expend huge amounts of energy spitting vitriol at each other to no effect, which has the very intentional side effect of making politics so uncomfortable (and seemingly unproductive) to think or talk about that many people who can afford to do so just tune it out, which allows politicians to get away with even more heinous shit because it's what's expected of politicians anyway. It's a pretty elegant, if dismal, system

And that “we” (honestly don’t know if it applies to you specifically) are in their support of influence, so any big enough US news has significant impact on half of the globe.

With on one hand the polarization of discourse and on the other the decay of democratic standards in the US, it is normal to have higher levels of interest across communities that are not US centered but only US influenced.

Unfortunately, that community is also moderated by an American (JordanLund) who has refused to acknowledge or accept terms from other countries outside of the United states, has banned Canadians for 'misinformation' when they were merely using Canadian political terms he didn't understand, and has argued with the admins of lemmy.world that he did nothing wrong. The admins warned him about the situation and publicly he refuses to back down.

That community can't be trusted. It's not impartial and not remotely trustworthy. It is seen through an aggressively American lens.

This is a breakdown of some of the shit that he's done. It's a repost of something I made that got deleted when I left LW. This is that original post if you want to see the comments of him "defending" himself by making it a thousand times worse. This was the last straw for me and why I left Lemmy.world, deleting all my content and setting up on dbzer0 instead with new communities to boot.

I am fucking done accepting an American being the be-all and end-all of reality when they're not even plugged into it themselves.

Yeah. As a Canadian, I can't say that I'm not fucking sick of it. This America-centric bullshit has gone on for far too fucking long, and if there is one thing that I will thank Donald Trump for, it is finally giving me a socially acceptable justification for hating that entire fucking shit stain of a country.

So, downvote all the threads?

there are alot keyboard politicians on lemmy. they al seem to have a master degree in politics.

doubt any of those keyboard politicians actually contribute to anything useful in their own local politics.

American geography teacher preparing for class:

scroll "all", and just block everything usa and politics related. my lemmy feed has become an entertainment platform again instead of a pseudo intellectual masturbation platform for keyboard politicians.

Isn’t this only a problem because many users are American? Then naturally many posts will be about America.

How is “world news” defined?

Send them back to REDDIT

This is why I joined feddit.uk. If I want UK-centric stuff then I can look at "local" posts. If I want to see more stuff (including US stuff) then I can look at "all" posts.

Piefed has keyword filters

Yep, Jordan's problem is that he is American. Definitely not that he's a piece of shit.

I never said the problem was that he was an American now, did I? I repeatedly added caveats after the fact about how he's a lunatic. The worst was "an aggressively American lens" which I also stand by given it's a world news community.

an American being the be-all and end-all of reality when they're not even plugged into it themselves.

My issue is that it's a world news community run by an apologetic American who is also an asshole. That perfect storm of stupid. Not because he is an American alone.

Edit: Jesus check this users modlog... They seem to only exist on lemmy to get into petty slapfights over their own failed reading comprehension. They have so many recent mod interactions that if you click on page 2 you're still under "A Month Ago".

It's pretty obvious even if I were to ignore this other thing you said

... finally giving me a socially acceptable justification for hating that entire fucking shit stain of a country.
