Comment on [META] Participation by non-Australians? Should we change this comm's display name?

Has Local only community been implemented? That might suffice for now. If and/or when finer grained community settings are implemented the community could be federated again.

Sorry for a slow reply - I’d say it was a busy day, but in truth it has been a busy weekend/month even.
To answer your question: yes. We can set a community local-only. That’s probably a step too far, though. I’ll have to play with it to be sure, but I think if you set a community local-only, it isn’t even visible to non aussie.zone members.
I’ll have to have a think about it. Maybe a rule that goes something like ‘if it is obvious from your comment that you assume USA is the centre of the world, it’ll be removed’. Then we can report/remove such comments with a simple ‘rule 3’ comment etc. let them figure out what that means.

I forgot there were two overlapping issues raised: 1. other instance users commenting and 2. other instance users posting.
Your suggestion seems reasonable and manageable for issue 1. I like it. What do you think @zero_gravitas@aussie.zone?
I think with issue 2 it seems like az visitors from other instances tend to work out their posts to worldnews don’t get as much traffic as other worldnews comms and they tend to move on so maybe that issue manages itself already.
