Thats a valid option. Problem is, the user base of most social media si overwhelmingly from north america. When having not as many users from other regions, its difficult to have a balance. I agree that there should be a community specifically for US news and politics. Also, i bet the second most large user base is western european.
I mean. Lemmys filters arent always just straight upvote related though.
Things like Hot or even New Comments are based on clicks and discussion/participation.
Its probably true that certain countries or events would dominate some of these more active submission (ie: Ukraine War, US Politics) but theres still plenty to be seen.
I dont know. There will come a point where some level of delineation is needed. But the complaining and arrogance, especially coming from someone that has posted a total of 1 other time, seems....drama.
Again you've added a good point.
Although i have empathy for op, since me too i lurk most of the time, never posted, and yet i see the thing being centered around either the us or europe.
We actually don't know whether the userbase of lemmy is "overwhelmingly from North America". It wasn't a majority on reddit, so I suspect that it is even less the case here.
