world news?

discusseded, 9 months ago

The US is a part of the world. If most users are from the US, then their news is going to be of the US. It’s unfortunate that your country is not represented here, but maybe you can help the matter by posting local news instead of cwying about others. Nobody else is going to do it for you.

Feel free to steal stuff from the hexbear news/events megathread. People are constantly posting articles in the comments that get buried.

You can check out anime titties for better world news.

Which instance? The one I’ve found is not active

!anime_titties

Auto hot Linking apparently doesn’t work with that instance so: mlem.a-smol-cat.fr/c/anime_titties

Fantastic, thank you.

Yes, I know US is part of the world too but it is dominating at the moment.

Pretty on the nose, don’t you think?

So OPs only post, ever, is to bitch about what other people post? Just post interesting stuff from your country instead of complaining that the rest of us don’t psychically follow your very own imaginary rules you made up yourself.

Post history doesn’t have relevance here since OP is in the right. The sub is called “world news”, and there is far too much specifically US news here. Americans have many places to post their domestic news, so why make the world news communities shittier?

This might shock you to hear it, but the US is on the same rock as your country. Sorry that so little people from your spot on this marble have something to report, but it’s not a US problem, is it? Unless you consider crying to be news worthy.

pancakes, 9 months ago

Agreed, the US is on the same rock as every other country. However, unlike how you might think, this rock doesn’t completely revolve around the US.

Yeah, this was a big problem on reddit, and was the reason I unsubbed from them (when I still used reddit).

Let’s not make the same mistake here. “World news” should be a mix of news. Otherwise it should just be called “US news”.

I think more regional news communities might help, including a US news community. Then, we hopefully get multi communities soon, and can group as we wish.

PuppyOSAndCoffee, 9 months ago

I agree - prefer not to have US news in world news, and I say that as an American. I guess downvotes would be a way to send a message but would be a good community policy imo. Report as spam??!

use keyword filtering and filter trump musk etc.

sync can do it, i’m told connect can too but i’m not sure.

NickCudawn, 9 months ago

This is good, yet a bit aggressive for my taste. It would be nice to be able to keyword filter only for specific communities.

burgersc12, 9 months ago

Connect also supports regex as a filter now iirc

America dominates the world in almost everything 🦅, it makes sense that there’s more news happening here than anywhere else

Entropywins, 9 months ago

That's hilarious!!!

BrikoX, 9 months ago

There are 5 posts in the last 24 hours related to Trump out 50. Not sure how that’s dominating…

essteeyou, 9 months ago

How many of the other 45 were about the same person?

BrikoX, 9 months ago

No more often than any other breaking topic or Ukraine coverage.

It’d be better if you had posted some non-US news instead of this. That’s how it works.

HenriVolney, 9 months ago

Don’t agree. There is too much US based news, even considering the fact that majority of users are US based. A lot happens everywhere and the feed does not need to be flooded with US news, even less so when it is Florida man level news.

Durotar, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

There is too much US based news

I don’t agree that we should post non-US news if we want to see something else

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edited: it’s amazing how many people don’t get how it works, you’re simply parasites folks.

homoludens, 9 months ago

You’re making a false argument, hence the downvotes. HenryVolney isn’t disagreeing with posting more non-US news, they are saying that reminders to not post every US news here can also be valuable.

Durotar, 9 months ago

Even in your interpretation he’s wrong. People decide what is valuable and if US news get a lot of upvotes then they are valuable. If he thinks something else can be valuable, he should create posts instead of complaining that someone else doesn’t serve him.

homoludens, 9 months ago

You may have a different opinion than HenryVolney on this. That does not make your original argument less false.
