I think it’s more an international thing. There was a thread a while back saying post where you’re from. Way less American dominated here, hence less American conservatism and ‘leftism’ and more balanced global views rather than the excessive america centredness of reddit. Federation helps with that too. No American corporate entity shaping the culture.
Except when users complain that a channel called "Politics" at lemmy.world shouldn't be exclusive to US politics. Then it's American exceptionalism all the way down, baby.
You think we could start a World Politics community here without it quickly becoming r/anime_titties?
Didn't follow r/anime_titties, but there's definitely userbase that would be interested in a channel dedicated to the discussion of various global political topics. I don't have the energy to moderate what that could become, though.
