I thought it'd be nice for the rest of the world to have a de-america'd instance where there's no discussion of america, certainly no american politics, and no americans are allowed via IP block.

But I think to do that effectively, you'd probably have to defederate from most of the rest of lemmy, and then you've lost most of the federation benefits of being a lemmy instance. However I'm only vaguely familiar with how all of the connections work so maybe someone can correct me.

That sounds like something you should do with content moderation rather than technologically.

There are also world politics communities, that explicitly ban US and other global north news. There are also country specific news communities as well. That's kind of what having multiple communities is for.

If people aren't willing to subscribe to those communities, they're likely less willing to use a whole different lemmy instance.
