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.

    Well I’m not really the kind of person to follow these communities anyway. What I pointed out wasn’t a community with a majority of US members (that is no problem whatsoever), it’s that the rules strictly enforce US content. From what I understand from the moderator’s own post, it’s a moderation issue (which sounds okay to me). I was just highlighting the inconsistency between the choice of the community name VS what Lemmy.world tries to encourage. But it’s not the end of the world.
