Is it your belief that baseball is solely a US sport? US is just where the best players most often play. Other nations are not prohibited from the ML. See the Toronto Blue Jays (World Series champions in 1993)
I’m in the USA but I think it’s inevitable. The USA is the single largest primarily English speaking democracy in the world. Since Lemmy.world is a primarily English speaking instance, it should be expected that an American would create a politics community first and since it’s the first they just call it politics.
For example, the UK is the only country in the world where they don’t put the country name on their stamps. Because they invented paper stamps first in 1840.
Lemmy world -> politics = USA… it feels so wrong but well, the block button is there for something, isn’t it?
Oh, damn, I subscribed to the wrong community. Sucks.
I thought this was about world politics and it turns out it’s just (again) US centrism.
I think I can mention it. I mean, why not?
There was a cool subreddit back there, r/USdefaultism. We should do something like that here.
Seriously. This is egregious enough that it makes me wonder if admins can rename communities.
whats even more egregious is the errant space after “politics” making it read “politics @lemmy.world”
I never noticed that. Thanks. Now I hate it.
Non-US gang
c/globalpolitics is what you want.
Come on, they’re the World Series champions.

Yes. That is how this whole fediverse thing works.

This is not a fight worth worrying about IMO.
