I wish I was in Europe. Where I could pretend that news about our downfall was for a time at a distance and would never affect me.

Oh don't worry it will affect us alright, it's just that we don't have any say in whatever happens there.

Like any of us do? I'm just waiting for lines to be drawn where I know where I can stand.

US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined
Don't ever look into Indian politics. It will fry your brain.
we only have dirty corrupt diddlers on each level of hierarchy. The prime minister is a "gyaan raat bhar, kaam jhaant bhar" kinda guy. The media is sold. The opposition lacks strength. Politicians get way too much power for doing Literally nothing.
I believe India is in "USA but 50 years ago if smart phones were present" kind of situation

>Uses an English based platform
>Is shocked most users are from the biggest English speaking country
English based Platform? Uuuuh, buddy the fediverse is a global project and hosted in several different countries.

You are a citizen of the state. You might not be able to do it alone, but it's your mess to fix, when all other means fail (voting, institutions etc).

Now do it in German

You were getting sports?
It's not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it's not a lot.
used to get sports yeah, not anymore. the starwarstrek stuff too is also blocked for me. that was over the top. I do really appreciate that we have the ability to hide things we don't ever want to see. that gesture alone makes Reddit useless

I do what I can in a deeply red state where putting a democratic anything in your yard or on your car gets you attacked. When the lines are drawn I will probably be in the nearest blue zone which I guarantee will draw troops. Its the plan to occupy the cities and terrorize the populace to violence. Then they are just defending themselves against 'evil' terrorist. Its what they did when George Floyd was killed. They incited the violence and used it as an excuse to injure and kill protesters.

It ain't even local news. What we have now, is anybody's guess.
Corporate shitheel news.

Maybe if 'Muricans kept their shit to themselves. Alas, we must hear their news and politics, and/or be affected by it somehow, even if we steppen't in their country
steppen't
come again?

Some twat of a mod removed a news article, a very popular post which I linked, because "it's internal US news". It was literally from the national broadcasting company of Finland, talking about our national Moomin characters. But no.
Lemmy is filled with Russian pretending to be Americans/Canadians/whatever

As an Indian, very much agreed.

The recent ECI scandal only hammers this point harder.

Isn't LW hosted in Europe?
That doesn't stop Americans signing up with the instance and then dominating all discussion there.

Even as an American and as a supporter of the freedom of these federated model, I have to wonder if there should be a mandated taxonomy. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s freedom of expression, but I want there to be some basic organization such that I can be an informed consumer

I seek out the non-US perspective. Sometimes you need someone else to show you that the Emperor has no clothes.
Or sometimes just to have a sane conversation.
Given practically any forward looking or quality of life topic: here it’s dominated by politics, illegal program cuts, incompetent leaders selected only for personal loyalty, breaking it for the sake of breaking it. Can’t we discuss things like adults?

"worldnews": American local news
It's not even "news" - a lot of that shit is just Clown-President does yet another thing that a Clown would do.

c’est parce que lemmy.world (et la plupart des instances) est anglophone, donc a un biais américain/britannique
moi je propose que tout le monde parle dans sa langue maternelle, pis de toute façon les logiciels de traduction sont rendus assez bon on va pouvoir se comprendre quand même
(/j)
Right. For example my browser did a perfectly cromulent job of translating what you just wrote into a language I can read …… unless you weren’t talking about a plot to take over the world
