It’s because a lot of people migrating from Reddit landed on .world and created or found their familiar named communities and that’s how it was on Reddit - US centric top level type communities.

Is .world the best place for US centric communities? Maybe not just based on nomenclature but since you asked why, that’s the reasoning. It’s in the description of Politics specifically (it even calls out migrating Redditors).

Considering Meta mines as much data from as many people as possible just to advertise to them and also they can’t even launch Threads in the EU right now because of how aggressively it tracks literally everything about their users and Threads’ only purpose is to gather more data to sell to more people, I think that alone is worth not letting them play.

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?
