I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.
Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.
Lemmy.world is full of US-specific things. It’s quite bizarre that US is probably the only major country that doesn’t have its own instance. I’ve already noted it. And predicted it a month ago, but that didn’t go anywhere.
I am sure the fact they don’t use they ccTLD “.us” (not even the government) is part of that mentality. The internet is kind of built to be usanian by default

As someone living in the United States, I personally do not want to be on a US only instance. US is a burning pile of poop right now. Please save us
You can stay if you learn other worldly dialects. Repeat after me: Cunt. Bloody Yanks. Fa- (ok maybe not that one). Guten Tag.
