I caught it fine this time, but I’ve been confused before because I generally browse ‘All’ because of the content amount. I don’t always catch the community right away. It’s not an entirely unreasonable mistake.
I wouldn’t call it a mistake but it’s kinda unnecessary for the people outside of US. I won’t deny that it can be useful for people from US though. However mistakes can happen when one don’t check for which community they’re on, it’s quite normal.
The opposite was happening on Reddit. The title didn’t mention the Georgia as a state but the news was about the state, on world news sub. Easiest way to prevent this misunderstanding is to use the title accordingly.
Us Americans are pretty dumb, unfortunately. I like to think I’m not, and even so really the only reason I clicked into the comments here was to clarify if that meant Georgia the country or Georgia the state because I could absolutely see Georgia the American state trying to run this. I’d expect it more out of Florida but shit’s all fucked up everywhere these days. I appreciated that clarifying comment.
Both Georgia the country, and Georgia the state of the United States are located on planet Earth. I wanted to make clarification to save people trouble. Is that not ok, with you?
No problem at all. It’s just only people from US would think Georgia as a state at first (naturally), so this information only be useful for them. Also, world news should mention if it’s the state, but no need for the country. If you don’t see that’s being mentioned, you can safely assume it’s the country.
I mean, it’s world news. Thinking Georgia as a state would be weird.

Yeah, I’m not suggesting anything different be done to mitigate, just pointing out what us stupid Americans do sometimes.
