    If I report every post I see not fit, I will get banned most likely.
    And they will say that we support Trump and that we don't let people know about Trump for the 100th time.

      It's also their problem defining what is important and what not. Posting everything that Trump says, is not news, it's a spam.

        Any time someone gets called after accidentally revealing an uncomfortable truth about themselves, they always pull the "reading comprehension" card. I don't need to argue or quote or anything else. Your comments here are dripping with disdain for an entire country. You say it targets no individuals but it certainly does and that's what you were called for. It's textbook bigotry. Now go ahead and call me a stupid American and get it over with. Everyone reading has no doubt you're thinking it.

        Edit: it's weird you edited in the bit about blocking me. Don't think I've interacted with you before. Also, you remember every username you block? You just really need to be right. That way, you don't have to consider how it sounds when you write the things you wrote here.

          Same bro, same! I have blocked 10+ communities and keywords through Voyager app.
          I do enjoy my home page, but I do like to scroll through /all, and that's where I scroll going through USA news.

          Edit: USA users are also aggressive when you complain, like you are wrong, not letting other people know what's going on.

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

                      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.

                        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.

                        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.

                              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.

                                      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 itโ€™ll be 99% US stuff, but thatโ€™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.
