Orange, with Admin tag says:
I agree wholeheartedly. My assumption was that such behavior was simply a symptom of the relatively larger proportion of Europeans on this site, and their obvious jealousy and insecurity regarding Americans. I still believe that is the most likely explanation. To be clear, America has done hella dumb shit lately, and is deserving of criticism on many fronts. But what OP is referring to goes beyond that. It’s emotional animosity that overflows the bounds of reasonable criticism and targets individuals rather than governmental decisions or policies.
The number of times that I have seen people refer to the American contribution to WWII as cowardice, meaningless, etc, is too damn high. 400,000 Americans died in that war. Read a fucking history book you ignorant, insensitive fucks.
It’s certainly possible that there are agents in our midst sowing divisiveness, although unlikely. I don’t have any beef with any nationality, because I don’t judge people based on where they were born. That should be common sense, but it’s apparently difficult for some people to wrap their heads around.
Another user replies:
You think Europeans are jealous of Americans? You couldn’t pay me to live there, especially with Trump in power.
Orange admin responds:
Yes. America controls the world, and Europeans are salty about it. I didn’t even realize how salty until I started using Lemmy, but it’s incredibly obvious on here.
FWIW, I would be salty too. But you can also be mature about it and realize that the average American isn’t to blame for this reality.
Not sure if this is the right community for this, since I wasn’t banned (yet, anyway, and I seriously doubt my replies laughing my ass off will remain*) but instead tried blocking the admin (but can’t, is that right?? If so, that’s power tripping on another level) and am seriously considering moving instance if this clown is in charge of any part of the one I’m on.
*E: as predicted, I have now officially had a comment calling out this clown removed by their mod buddy lmao
This was my thinking too.
E: also the fact that I can’t block them is not ok.
Maybe crosspost this on [email protected] ? It probably fits there too
I think I’ve already overextended my available energy with what this post might stir up, I might just leave it now 😂
Crossposting is a click away, you can do it 😄
It’s not the posting that’s the issue, it’s what comes once you have lol
😂
They’re your instance admin, makes sense from administrative perspective to not allow blocking admins.
That said, there’s plenty of great instances such as db0 ;)
That in itself is a power trip (sure, if they are a sole admin of an instance, which they aren’t, they should have the option to dm any user even if they block them, but them being an admin doesn’t mean anyone should be forced to encounter their personal brand of bullshit as they scroll).
Either way, that on its own is enough to get me to change instance, and db0 is probably my first choice, I just need to gather enough brain spoons to make the move lol
Migrating takes two clicks if you’re on a computer.
User settings - export settings
User settings - import settings
Ok, thanks! What info does that bring along?
Mostly your block (communities and instances) and subscribe lists, which is usually the most important settings to use Lemmy.
but not users? :(
Oh yes, that too!
Oh, good, thank fuck for that lol
Thanks for all the info, I’ll get on it hopefully by tomorrow.
Great to block you mean?
If you believe so, then it probably benefits you and db0
This comm is in db0 btw
Taking into account that few threads down db0 was found removing a comment which didn’t break any rules, just simply because he disagreed with it - yes, blocking is probably the best. Until he is still a mod he shouldn’t be.
Which one of these lmao? Don’t see power trippin’ here.
