having a comm called USA tells them that they're one country among others; not having it (using /c/politics etc.) tells them they're the default, reinforces the mindset that everything is centred on the USA unless otherwise specified

    I’m in solidarity with the underlying problem, and I’m a Burgerlander myself.
    I would suggest 🍔-specific comms for the most problematic ones, like c/politics and c/news, and to update the sidebars, referring people to those alts for 🍔-specific posts.

    Edit: Has this issue not been litigated before? I ask because it just seems very likely that it would have been by now.
