Why !politics and !news are US centric and then we have !worldnews for the rest of the world? Am I the only one finding this slightly arrogant? (lemmy.world)

Thats a valid option. Problem is, the user base of most social media si overwhelmingly from north america. When having not as many users from other regions, its difficult to have a balance. I agree that there should be a community specifically for US news and politics. Also, i bet the second most large user base is western european.

    I mean. Lemmys filters arent always just straight upvote related though.

    Things like Hot or even New Comments are based on clicks and discussion/participation.

    Its probably true that certain countries or events would dominate some of these more active submission (ie: Ukraine War, US Politics) but theres still plenty to be seen.

    I dont know. There will come a point where some level of delineation is needed. But the complaining and arrogance, especially coming from someone that has posted a total of 1 other time, seems....drama.
