!world@lemmy.world has a rule against United States internal news, which is a nice balance for me, but it can still be dominated by news about ways that the US is affecting things around the world

Unfortunately, that community is also moderated by an American (JordanLund) who has refused to acknowledge or accept terms from other countries outside of the United states, has banned Canadians for 'misinformation' when they were merely using Canadian political terms he didn't understand, and has argued with the admins of lemmy.world that he did nothing wrong. The admins warned him about the situation and publicly he refuses to back down.

That community can't be trusted. It's not impartial and not remotely trustworthy. It is seen through an aggressively American lens.

This is a breakdown of some of the shit that he's done. It's a repost of something I made that got deleted when I left LW. This is that original post if you want to see the comments of him "defending" himself by making it a thousand times worse. This was the last straw for me and why I left Lemmy.world, deleting all my content and setting up on dbzer0 instead with new communities to boot.

I am fucking done accepting an American being the be-all and end-all of reality when they're not even plugged into it themselves.
