Can't say I'm a fan of a country-specific holiday being featured like this in an intentionally neutral and international instance. Would have much preferred to see something for the trans day of remembrance.

It's not really a neutral international instance though. Try posting non-US news to !news@lemmy.world and see what happens.

Well that's some high grade bullshit. "The World’s Internet Frontpage".

It'll go unnoticed, but I think it's appropriate to remind Americans that theyre co-opting terms like "news" to mean "American news".
