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.

USA liberal politics, if we are being honest

There is no actual political discussion going on here, just an American liberal propaganda machine

“corrected” how? non americans need to post non american things if they want non american content. there are more americans there who generate content, be the change you want to see and post about your own countries or other countries then. you cant expect americans to post about other countries to satisfy you when that’s not their focus

Change the community name or change the community rules

That should be up to only the mods or the admins. And I’m definitely not a big fan of forcing admins to change community names because you disagree with a name that is arguable not incorrect.
