  • It’s cool that you were invited. Also ironic that you chose to make the “politics” community here all about USA and now level accusations of gatekeepering?

    Maybe it doesn’t feel like a big deal to you, but I think it’s reasonable for Canadians to feel concerned that foreign content/news tends to overshadow our own, especially given how the USGov is treating foreign relations these days.

    American corps already run a lot of news outlets here, dominate the entertainment industry, and have no qualms about throwing their weight around. Lemmy was looking like a place for other countries such a Canada to maybe have a bit of space for our own news and content while still being connected to the world, but it didn’t take long for feeds to be overwhelmed here too.

    A little room to breathe or at least maybe some consideration of where this community “lives” doesn’t feel like a lot to ask. If you consider that a “diatribe” and want to toss your weight around that’s not much I can do to stop you, but it also kinda proves my point.


  • Correction, Canadian instance.

    sh.itjust.works is Canadian.

    So I guess a better question might be: why did you join a Canadian instance to create a generically named community about American politics?

    Did you think “gee, sh.itjustworks is a funny name, I’m going to sign up there”, was it more a land-grab for a high-level keyword “politics” as a community, instead of creating it as “uspolitics” or “americanpolitics”. Or maybe you just assumed American politics were the one that mattered most, even on a non-American instance?

    Whatever your reasoning, now Canadians who signed up for this Canadian instance see your American news in their feed under the “politics” heading. It’s not even “American politics relevant to Canadians”

    Not really a great look.

    I still want the trees outdoors, but this would be cool for indoor spaces. Each mall or parking lot could have a solar panel overhead and slime-tanks to produce useful byproducts.

    Maybe it could be mixed with and aquaculture like fish and sea plants to create cool scenery
