A lot of the worldnews articles seem to be US centric, and I’m sick of Trump news. Would you please post on the News community instead and only post actual world news here?

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

      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.

        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.

          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.

            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.

    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??!

    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”.

    use keyword filtering and filter trump musk etc.

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

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

    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.

    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.

          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.

    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.

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

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

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