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.

In theory it's a fine idea; in practice it just sounds messy.

Better to just follow region-specific communities like Europe (not sure if it's on .world or .ml). I think you can post there if you're American, but you shouldn't expect that most people there are, or that they will care about American stuff, and I wouldn't make a thread about American stuff, and a moderator would be well within rights to delete it. But the Internet is global and for everyone.
