How come as of today I can't access politics@lemmy.ml ?

There are so many politics communities, but before you mentioned this I didn't realize how concentrated they are on .ml and .world. These look like the most-subscribed USA and World politics communities that aren't on .ml or .world:
!politics@hexbear.net
!politics@beehaw.org
!usa@midwest.social
!worldpolitics@lemmy.ca
!geopolitics@lemmy.run
!politics@sh.itjust.works
[Edit: Though I listed them here, the hexbear and beehaw communities are not accessible to large swaths of the Lemmy user base due to instance defederations.]
Don't link the Hexbear community. If you think .ml is bad, they're 100x worse.
Thanks for the list!
I've heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.
!politics@sh.itjust.works -- unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.
Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.
Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. "Recent" is only an imperfect proxy for "relevant".
usa@midwest.social -- We have a winner!
Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect
I would also welcome suggestions for "news" groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. usnews@lemy.lol is okay so far but I'm always looking for possible alternatives.
