It’s not that every community on lemmy.world needs to be international. There are no rules that suggest that. It’s first come, first serve unless you can convince the admins or mods of the community otherwise. I also do not think majority rules should apply here aside from a petition type approach where you can just show the mods there’s a strong feeling. I don’t think forcing anything is the approach. So unless you already talked to them and they said no and this is simply a petition approach as a second go, I don’t know what you really want to happen aside from venting (which is also legitimate). But considering you’re suggesting that things should change, I’m wary of the way in which you think these changes should be allowed to be affected.
I don’t want to launch a petition to be honest, I just wanted to see what the other members of the instance thought about it (mainly because I wondered if Lemmy.world was in fact mostly composed of US members). I agree that a community should not be renamed/removed if it does not break any rule or do anything that deserve such a treatment.
As I said in other posts, not all community on Lemmy.world must be international, that would not make any sense. But I would not create a c/photography instance and ban any non french content for example. If a community is specific to one country, it’s a reasonable approach to say it in the name if any member of the instance has not more chance to belong to this country than another.
