Sure, petition to rename it. I don't think anyone would care, except the folks feeling suppressed by American exceptionalism.

Or, idk, start your own world news instance with super strict rules, zero US stuff. No one is stopping you. Isn't that the point of this platform?

😉

I "barged in" to a thread on Lemmy, a public forum where all are supposedly welcome? Are you seriously trying to exclude me based on my identity or background?

Do you think "supress" simply means "not up voting non-US content?" Okay, maybe I got that one wrong.

But you really don't get how hostile you guys come off toward US folks who are just existing?

I mean, your comment is the very embodiment 9f the anti-US sentiment I see from so many. What are people supposed to do to appease you?

I would love to see some examples of these minority topics being down voted or suppressed since it seems to be deeply affecting international users' experience.

To me, it seems like you and the OP resent US users for simply existing in an online space without putting forth any solutions to the issue. Are you sure you're not trying to find ways to justify anti-US bias?

If you want the space to have more equal representation, why not produce high-quality content that appeals to your fellows rather than moaning about people who by your own admission mean no harm?

Same. But I don't think the Russians or Chinese would give two shits what I think about them dominating an online space lol

Also pretty sure Iranians are struggling to get online rn let alone take over an instance

So, you're saying that US users on lemmy.world are keeping other nationalities from talking about issues or viewpoints relevant to them?

I don't get it. Are you saying that lemmy.world has too many US users? Why would that matter?

Saying there's no real-world use for thought experiments or theory is like saying tricycles are useless because they're slower than jogging.

Better the devil you know than the Jesus you don't

Perspective: shoebox.

Values: likely shoebox-based, or perhaps worshipping the ever-present AC

Science: science as a set of principles and methods for understanding the physical world wouldn't be affected by a man or men in a shoebox.

I wasn't really sure what you were talking about, so I looked them both up, and I think there's a really good chance your optician gave you Nazi-tinted lenses by mistake.
