This post here is about whether or not this specific mod action was warranted. And I still think it absolutely was.

Its my post.

You don’t get to piegon-hole frame my post.

This comm often serves as a place for such meta discussion, we can talk about related multiple things at the same time.

Or, well, maybe we can’t, I guess, if you are apparently in charge of conversation framing here.

Anyway…

As I already said, I think the rule is dumb as well. But a dumb rule existing isn’t mods power tripping. This is just us not liking a rule.

… who do you think writes the rules?

Are… are you serious right now?

Its the mods, in case you need a direct answer to that.

And not sure what the size of the community matters. In fact, have you considered that it maybe got so big because it’s the only one not full of US internal news? Some people might really like that.

Yeah its for US based normie reddit refugees that by default land on lemmy.world, who want a US news vs not US dichotomy, its not actually primarily intended to have an actual global perspective, its intended to have a US centric, non-US News differentiation, because the vast majority of the lemmy.world user base is from the US, and that’s whose being catered to.

This is an editorial approach that centers the US as the default given, and works from there.

It is not an editorial approach that attempts to consider what global or worldwide audiences from anywhere would find noteworthy and important.

Yes, everybody is aware how big and important America is. And yes, the current administration is speedrunning the one remaining superpower towards fascism, which is bad for all of the world. By that logic almost everything this administration does would be “world news”. But that’s obviously a silly way to look at it.

Again, cool, neat rhetotical device, but we are not talking about anything the admin does, we are talking about things that do obviously have a direct impact on other countries, via, you know, aforementioned literally physically present military assets in up to 50 other countries, and how any one is to have any idea what they may or may not be doing.

… You sure do seem to talk and argue just like jordan, anyone ever said that to you before?

As I already said, I think the rule is dumb as well. But a dumb rule existing isn’t mods power tripping.

… who is us?

Who… what group are you referring to here?
