As Rimu is fine with both, I would really please ask you to consider !uspolitics. Or if you want external feedback, we can open a thread on whatever community you see fit (could be !fedigrow@lemmy.zip , but also !world@quokk.au as it’s related too) to get additional feedback from users.

It may seem like it’s a pet peeve, but really, it’s something that’s been on the mind of a lot of people that lemmy.world, a server hosted and managed in the Netherlands, gets its main “politics” community dedicated to the USA.

I know piefed.social is based in New Zealand, but you get the idea.

I feel like pretty much all the political content that is put up by denizens of whatever part of the world is going to go into a region-specific place, and the “everything but the US” community just wouldn’t get used.

A potential solution is

Note that your concern about the world community not being used it true for news as well, still !world@lemmy.world and the several country-dedicated communities (e.g. !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk , !france@jlai.lu ) are all active

unless someone has a use for it, to keep things clean, is probably better.

you can maybe keep it and just lock it, with links to the communities listed above. That prevents someone else from taking that community name.
