    Instead of complaining can someone who dislikes this decision please just create a community like “AskLemmyUS”, post a link here so people can find it and get on with it?

          politics echo chamber

          That better be talking about a lack of diverse left wing opinions, not just a lack of republicans

            both… and more…

            US political discourse is a pathetic Republican/Democrat circle jerk, then pika face when all we get are regime whore clowns swapping the office while quality of life deteriorates for bottom 80%

              Republicans don’t have any political policy, so it’s not surprising that there’s noyhing to discuss.

      That’s what I’ve told so many complaining people. If anyone wanted to they could make one and it would be filled with users in hours, just click create community. Hell tell the mods here to suggest people go there for those discussions, they’d probably link it in the sidebar. But someone has to do it. (And as a mod of a few other communities, someone else can take that one)

        I gotta say, tho I admire your comment, I have been removed on instances just because of communities I created.

        I was on a fairly popular instance, created a community called, “Conservative Socialists” and was banned from the entire instance within 10 minutes. Looking at the mod log, the admin listed reason as “Dude’s a conservative.”

        Admin’s choice of course, it’s their instance. But I’m just pointing out that Lemmy isn’t as free speech as some might think.

        No, US exceptionalism is turning every single general purpose community into US politics.

        For the 4% of Earth’s population that does indeed live in the US, there could be local communities.

          It’s still weird to me that there is no US instance. LW and lemm.ee are hosted in Europe, SJW and lemmy.ca in Canada, lemmy.ml and hexbear use a European datacenter.

          I mean there is midwest.social and dubvee, but we could have expected a large US instance to have emerged by now.

          The closest is probably https://lemmy.today/, but only has 194 users per month.
