Please. All of this is mostly US politics. Please do not hijack "world news" to mean whatever new shit Desantis or someone else said this week. Every other magazine/community/whatever is already full of that shit. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

US politics already swamp out most of the content on the entire fediverse. It may seem like the world to you but there's almost 200 countries on this planet that are not the US.

PLEASE DO NOT.

Thank you.

On Reddit, there were/are some subreddits where you could/can talk about world news, and that means news from other countries outside US. But those news didn't have to be specifically written in English. There was a non-forced rule to provide a translation in English to those news inside the comments. So, you could post about "Macron dit qu'il ne démissionnera", and you can see in the comments the reasons why Macron won't resign.

That would be a great solution to the lack of content in English about news from Spain, France, Italy...
