    Instead of complaining can someone who dislikes this decision please just create a community like “AskLemmyUS”, post a link here so people can find it and get on with it?

          politics echo chamber

          That better be talking about a lack of diverse left wing opinions, not just a lack of republicans

            both… and more…

            US political discourse is a pathetic Republican/Democrat circle jerk, then pika face when all we get are regime whore clowns swapping the office while quality of life deteriorates for bottom 80%

              Republicans don’t have any political policy, so it’s not surprising that there’s noyhing to discuss.

        No, US exceptionalism is turning every single general purpose community into US politics.

        For the 4% of Earth’s population that does indeed live in the US, there could be local communities.

          It’s still weird to me that there is no US instance. LW and lemm.ee are hosted in Europe, SJW and lemmy.ca in Canada, lemmy.ml and hexbear use a European datacenter.

          I mean there is midwest.social and dubvee, but we could have expected a large US instance to have emerged by now.

          The closest is probably https://lemmy.today/, but only has 194 users per month.

            There used to be dmv.social, which iirc was in Washington DC? It got shut down due to the CSAM attacks, before the automated software, and iirc just frustration in general with how toxic people were being.

            And I see a bunch more actually, at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/. 2 of the top 20 instances even are located in the USA. Lemmy.sdf.org with >500 MAUs, beehaw.org with ~400, StarTrek.website with ~200, lemmy.today, ttrpgnetwork, and discuss.online (where jgrim of SubLinks is an admin) are all recognizable. Ofc, the caveat being if I am reading that page correctly - or like perhaps some proxy was used, even a random one and this data could be all wrong who knows - but it at least looks this way?:-)
