I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.

Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.

Segue: Is there a way to enlarge these images on jerboa? They are teeny, and all touching them in any way does is hide/close the comment.

Edit: I see on Connect they actually work as links and can be opened in a new tab.

Not for now. I'm waiting for that feature to be implemented.

Every country in the world belongs to America

You can tell this isn't true because not every country is a fucked up mess

Not a fucked up mess…. Yet!

But we’re working on it! Here at the CIA our goal is to give you the freedom every red blooded American enjoys! Like the freedom to never go to the doctor because of the cost! Being shot at school because religious nut jobs think Jesus wants it that way! Work your self to death to stay just below the poverty line! Watch as the social safety net your forefathers literally died for gets eroded away as you too embrace Christo-facism!

We can’t WAIT to bring this opportunity to your shores! Work with us in serving the billionaire working class and enjoy all the benefits above!
