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.

Unfortunately, the US is taking advantage of this axiom. Their unfettered drive of "influential" content amounts to, essentially, an undeclared cultural invasion.

Sadly, just one lemmy instance doing this won't change much. The US has been invested in destroying my country since the 1970's.

I can't say that Russia or China are any better, before anyone asks.

As a native born citizen of the US, I just wanted to say I feel bad that you feel the need to iterate this. I know a lot of asshats always make people who criticize the US clarify this, and I can only imagine it gets super annoying even having to do that the first time.

Your criticism of the US doesn't preclude you to defend or criticize other nation-states, those are separate criticisms unless the topic is international relations, which it's not in this case.
