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.

World News is always bound to be dominated by the news of the spoken language. While English is spoken very broadly, the US is the dominant speaker by population. Most "international" news will be written in the native language of the afflicted area. Since people here want English content, you're going up see mostly English speaking areas. Since the US is the largest, it'll be mostly US news.

If you don't like it, start sourcing interesting English content about non-english locations.

So if my quick math is right the news should be about 2/3s USA

331 million in the USA vs 132 million in Canada, UK, and Australia.

I mean it seems more then 2/3s, and I am not including the other 86 English speaking countries....

You've got the power to be the change you want to see.

I blocked that community and it is great over here on greener pastures. Now I can talk politics on all the other communities I'm subbed to.
