But why not use your main account?

2 hours account, based on the other comments this seems to be borderline trolling

Hello,
Maybe consider a more platform-agnostic name to include Piefed and Mbin?
- Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation 3 weeks ago:
there needs to be some rough guide on making your community federated and then advertising it effectively so communities can get that early kick.
We can draft something on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip

The kind of drama Lemm.ee was experiencing wouldn’t be mitigated by any automatic measure, it was mostly human factors
- Comment on Discussion: Long-term need for automation tools for moderation 3 weeks ago:
This burns people out. Key moderators of communities quit and communities become abandoned.
Are you referring to something specific? I haven’t seen a trend of a lot of mods quitting, modding is just not that attractive in the first place

Zulip is a much better platform to be able to find information back, one day we’ll make it the main communication platform for Fediverse projects

This is a known issue, @wjs018@piefed.social is aware of it

Anything they can do, I can do better.
That’s the spirit that brought us here from Reddit. That’s the spirit that makes small communities managed by invested people better than namesitter communities waiting for people to build them.
Activity is what makes a community succeed.

Good luck, looking forward you posting dozens of memes over there
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
95% of people will find the community through a UI that abstracts away the url anyway.
I wouldn’t be so sure, there are quite a few apps that only show the URL name. I’ve recreated complete communities in the past due to this, so I know how crucial naming the community ‘correctly’ from the start is.
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
I would like to be able to post stuff about what’s going on in the world without needing to sideline it if it isn’t US stuff.
Isn’t that what !world@quokk.au is for? You’ll see it referenced in my other comment as well.
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
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
- !world@quokk.au for every world news (most of them are politics anyway), as it is already the case
- !uspolitics@piefed.social for a US focused community
- !uk_politics@feddit.uk
- !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca
- etc.
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.

As someone who’s not American, and is tired of seeing every online space being made into “this topic, for the USA”, please consider changing to !uspolitics
This is a feeling you can see quite a lot on Lemmy, this isn’t an online platform owned by a US company, still the neutral communities tend to become US-centric, probably as people were replicating Reddit when we first arrived here.
On another note, to add to what @Skavau@piefed.social was saying, here is what !news@piefed.world looks like , using tags for both location (US, world) and type of content (politics) piefed.world/c/news
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
Still seems redundant with !world@quokk.au , the vast majority of world news are inherently politics
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
Why do you want to refer to Rimu about the name, while you didn’t consult him in the first place to create this community?
If you are looking for precedent on other instances, there is !AskUSA@discuss.online and !casualeurope@piefed.social who clearly scope their demographics.
Beehaw has !usnews@beehaw.org
To me, “politics” while allowing politics from any country is fine, but I’m American so maybe that is just my exceptionalism.
I just feel like if want it to be worldwide, you will see people post politics from any country in the world, then people not interested in those politics won’t see how it’s relevant to them, thus hindering the success of the community. Also, it wouldn’t be a similarly-scope community compared to !politics@lemmy.world, so people will probably stay on it (and non-Americans will also prefer it, as it allows them to block US politics in one community without blocking themselves from the rest of the world)
Beehaw also has a much smaller audience, if your community ever get popular, you will see a lot of content.
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
Yes. I guess it depends what the scope @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat wants to target it
- if it’s US politics, then yeah, !uspolitics@piefed.social would be better
- if it’s world politics, then it’s fine, but then when do people know when to post on !world@quokk.au vs !politics@piefed.social ? It seems like world news communities are about world politics anyway
- Comment on Politics 4 weeks ago:
First of all, good luck for that, it’s going to be something.
Second, when it’s still in it’s early stages, would it be possible to call it !uspolitics@piefed.social instead so that
- this becomes the place for US politics discussions
- this allows people not interested in US politics to just block that community
- the politics@piefed.social community name is not dedicated to 99% US stuff
It seems like a good opportunity to avoid the !politics@lemmy.world issue which is explicitly about politics

That person also qualified a 20 years old player as a “child” piefed.zip/post/511068
Yeah, that’s the pro I guess!

Hey,
Small advice: don’t feed the troll
- Comment on !football@sopuli.xyz , for football fans (the one where you touch ball wit your foot) 4 weeks ago:
And !politics@lemmy.world should be for world politics rather than only “US politics”

TIL the name gridiron
