Proposal: Make a u.s. politics space distinct from the general politics space (baraza.africa)

!politics so far largely features topics on the internal politics of the united states. I don't see any statements from the Beehaw team suggesting this is intentional or explicit (feel free to correct me if I missed this), so I think it would be good to have such posts mostly go in a separate subcommunity, something for which there's a precedent with !socialism.

I don't interpret this as a ban on anything about the u.s. being mentioned in the general space, just like I don't interpret the existence of !socialism as banning discussions around socialist politics in the general space. I just think it would be an improvement. Curious what others think.

My long form answer applicable to the general trend in proliferating communities on the fediverse, so I put it here: https://beehaw.org/post/565096

tl;dr: Whether or not Beehaw starts a USPol community — or any community, for that matter — should depend on an assessment of whether we'd be a better home for it than an instance with which we're federated.
