Reverse for me.
Talking about an American politician.
In a thread about American politics.
In a community about American politics.
On an American instance.
Cue 200 "UGH WHY IS EVERYTHING SO AMERICA CENTRIC WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING ABOUT EEEEUUUUUURRRRROOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPE" butthurt comments.
Or just the random snarky shit they think is so clever.
"America, are you okay?" for the 500th time is not clever, just like it wasn't the first couple hundred times it's been posted.
Why did you name your instance .world?! ๐ญ
Yeah, it's contextually appropriate most of the time. I doubt there are many American users posting American politically specific ideas on posts about non-american politics.
The only real validity to this complaint would be an overabundance of posts regarding American politics; to which I would say, down vote those and post your own. I, for one, promise not to be upset.
