summary: we have [email protected] for US news now. please use that going forward for most US news you've previously posted here

this is a bit of a sudden thing but: World News was one of our most popular community options on the survey, so it seems pretty clear we should have it. it also seems pretty silly to shunt that off into its own community and make US News the "default", so we won't do that. as a result: we're formally converting this section into the World News section and making US News its own community. you can find that over at [email protected].

this will be a transition of a few days as people adjust; subsequent US news to this post will be pruned increasingly militantly over time here as the community over there takes shape. please also note and read the pinned post in that community.

if the news is American but it has an international facet that is worth talking about, you may continue to post it here since that is World News.

thanks!

Thank you! As a US citizen, I was reluctant to subscribe because there were so many Trump posts. I am so over the mindshare that guy takes up rent free in my head. This is a big relief to know. And no - I am not subbing US News. Thanks again.
