Yes, overwhelmingly so, it seems:

And the news about Ukraine, France, Sweden, Uruguay, Cambodia, Australia are in the single digits. So kbin is turning into reddit. In less than 3 weeks we are back at square one. And this is without the influx of the people who will be pushed away from reddit on July.
It was cool while it lasted.
Hmmm. I wonder why there are more posts about US news than Cambodian news. Why is that? Do you think it could be a conspiracy by thousands of users to flood the Fediverse with US news pieces to try to drown out all of the Cambodian news everyone would prefer to hear?
Or maybe the content you see is whatever is on people's minds, so they post it. Maybe you can post some Cambodian news instead of complaining about the lack of it. I'm interested in Cambodian news too, so please feel free to post all that sweet, sweet Cambodian news you are so upset about not seeing.
I wonder also if it might be because we are all reading news and conversing in English right now. Not very many of us can read Khmer.
you can use https://ground.news to find foreign news in english so you can share them easily. Sorted by quality and political orientation.

which gives another point of view leaning right, from Australia.

But of course if you all want to share what brand of cereals Donald Trump had for breakfast then please be my guest and post it as NEWS. But the best place to do it is reddit.
I looked up https://ground.news on your suggestion and immediately signed up. This is the site that I have wanted to find for years. Thanks
You said this back on July 2, how is it months later?
I'm talking about the votes, not the number of posts. If you tuned down your ragemeter you would have figured it out by yourself.
Now who's arrogant? I'm glad that we've established this point. Thanks for answering btw.
Then quit whining and post the kind of content you want to see.
You quit whining and you go back to reddit.
You are the one whining here.
I based all my arguments on facts. All I got was people with feelings brushed in the wrong way. You going emotional is very telling of the situation. Seems like when someone is talking to you you take it as a feeling based action. Sometimes it's just conversation.
Why come to a place where the posts are voted upon by the users if you're just going to complain about people voting on the "wrong" things?
Why? Because they don't respect the tool, which splits the posts by theme and interests. For example USPolitics and news. I say this is not news worthy.
And why do YOU complain about someone discussing the tool with other users? Do something else, go outside, stop complaining about it, no one is forcing you.
But you understand all of it, don't you? You know exactly what I'm talking about.
