There should a seperate place for US news so we all can ignore it🙎♂️

1983 , I was in the army then , almost WW III, Stanislav Petrov saved the world
Yes he did. Sometimes it just takes one adult in the room

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.
That's certainly a luxury some of us has. Feddit.dk for Danes is certainly nice.
And with regards of filtering out mostly 'murican stuff I've just blocked lemmy.world and that seems to have helped a lot. -

sucks Lemmy doesn't have filters and that people mispost stuff about the us (which is not part of the world) in news/world communities.
The Voyager app has keyword filters. I have words like "Trump" and "Elon" in there and it has helped a lot.

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.
Give it a fucking break, dude. JL is not Satan and not nearly as bad as you make him out to be.
Yeah, he did some power tripping dumb shit and can't handle being questioned. Yeah, the admins handled that late. If it continues, I do believe they'll deal with it.
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 fault.
You know the latest thing he's been shit on for? Not allowing US news in !world. It's incredibly stupid. And he's been defeated and overrun.
You know he's human, right?

Yeah, you left .world over a shitty mod, to go to an instance where the admins tolerate Holodomor denial and deny UN-verified sexual assault, lmao.
Fantastic choice.
Both Unruffled, dbzer0 admin, and Davel, .ml admin, denying UN verified sexual assault

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 not their fault they're taught that they are the centre of the whole world.
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.
That’s a whole load of strawmanning.

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.

i just block out these comms nowadays
-
How about someone start a community called outsideUSnews, nonUSApolitics etc.? Where every country other than USA's news and politics are discussed.
But then what would the European's whine about?
-
Isn’t this only a problem because many users are American? Then naturally many posts will be about America.
How is “world news” defined?
Shh, don't be too logical; it ruins their fun.
-
Alternate title: I don't want to know what happened in Bumfuck, Nevada.
I had a brief scroll through your history and it looks like you like to post a fair bit about the USA. Some trump meme, something about Tesla in San Francisco, Taylor Swift meme, Trevor Noah cllip...
...be the change you want to see..?

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. -
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.

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

It's not their fault they're taught that they are the centre of the whole world.
Their behaviour is not their fault, but it's still their responsibility.
