This is getting out of hand.

    The American defaultism is so fucking tiring, it’s such a constant “here’s this thing that’s only a thing in the US but it’s written like it’s global”. There needs to be a rule of at least having (US) in the title for posts that use whatever title they link to.

      Isn’t one of the most common rules in news communities that the title must be exactly the same as the title of the article? That’s why this happens to you. News sources don’t always say “oh, yeah, this is just for the US, BTW.” In their headlines.

        Rules have a purpose to serve. They can be changed and allow certain tags.

        Or let’s say we leave the title and make it a [US] flair or marker or however that could be named. Not sure if lemmy already has that functionality.

        Just saying there are possible solutions to this.
