MODERATORS
I think we might be noisy.
I made my account so I could block all the "news" /politics , which are mostly US news/politics XD. There is no community for my country here as far as I know, and if there is, and it's anything like it's counterpart on reddit, then also no thanks.
What do you mean?
Are you sure? Seems like the news magazines are very centered on Israel and Palestine.
The US has a lot of vital internet servers, is the source of a lot of current population movies and TV shows, and other widespread things that make people pay attention to it.
Internally, a lot of our "news" channels are sensationalized for higher ratings, so if we want to actually learn anything we tend to seek out the internet. Specifically, other "regular folks" online, who can maybe relate.
