I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.
Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.
I’ll speak to the moderators, if we should unlock it for international politics, but right now it’s US moderators and I barely know italy politics or EU politics but am Interested in adding them.
That’s so reductive, it’s absurd. It’s free labor to moderate these things.
Who is they? And where do these people magically spring from? If lemmy has a low content issue, surely there would be a low amount of people willing to moderate as well.

They’re trolling you, don’t open it up. This is the most popular and largest.
Then they should get more europeans, why should there only be mods from the US lol.

You really think Lemmy has a content issue lol?
And of course free labor don’t grow on trees but I’m pretty sure there are many that would be willing.
Because Americans were apparently the only people who wanted to work for free
I wonder if it has to do with r/politics being US only, I really don’t know mate.
It’s the same issue. Not all politics is american. It should be uspolitics instead.
