(Lemmy drama) sh.itjust.works Admin feels like Americans are too prosecuted on Lemmy.
Choice quotes:
if Lemmy continues to display outright hostility and toxicity towards Americans at every turn, there is virtually no chance that this platform will ever develop beyond its current fringe status.
I’ve always had thick skin and an open mind, so if I’m getting annoyed by it, my assumption is that most other Americans will find it intolerable. And although we don’t need to be a majority American site by any means, the sheer numbers dictate that if Americans find this site intolerable, it will never achieve mainstream success.
And if I hear one more fucking person say that America only joined World War 2 after it was already over, or that we were cowards for not joining sooner, I swear to God I’ma start criticizing the metric system again
In the comments that led to this post:
I’m American, and the fact that people would accuse me of being a Russian troll is deliciously ironic to me 😂. For one thing, my command of the English language rules that out, which isn’t something I can say about many of you.
another example of circlejerking Europeans doing everything they can to ensure no American would ever want to use Lemmy by acting like morally superior douchebags.
America controls the world, and Europeans are salty about it. I didn’t even realize how salty until I started using Lemmy
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.
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.
Some people are smarter and think more independently, while most tend to accept the dominant narrative, because thinking for yourself is emotionally and mentally draining. I would bet my left nut that the average lemming is smarter than the average redditor.
Ultimately, it’s up to the more intelligent people to determine what is true and false, and the best way to do that is through open, uncensored debate.
i'd like to quote from the classic work by miroslav:
I wish no harm to the american ruling class, my enemy is the american people
"how dare you criticise the glorious burger reich!"
Also, isn't that the instance with the shitty Nato fanpage? How are these boot fuckers too anti-American for this scratched lib?
Americans aren't prosecuted enough actually.
Also I didn't check if someone else already made this exact same comment at the time of writing.
came to post this
if they are allowed to cry about it we definitely have too much free speech for usaians
more like sh.itjust.sucks
boom, gottem.
Neither Lemmy as a whole nor Hexbear specifically are anti-american enough, frankly. US defaultism is still thoroughly rampant, every conversation must be assumed to be about America unless you specify otherwise.
Style guide for American socialists (under threat of being shipped to Alaska under the USSA regime):
- no more "us" or "we" when referring to the United States government. Just call it "the United States government"
- no more "Americans", "USians" or "US Americans" in polite company. In casual conversation take a slur of your choice from Maoist Standard English.
euros once again baring butt with the "we hate everyone equally" defense.
sh.itchuds.post
Imagine feeling personally attacked when someone shits on America. Even Americans hate America.
I have taken to referring to ww2 as century old European squabbling.
"I've always had a thick skin which is why I made a post crying about people making fun of my shitty country"
And if I'm bothered, just think of the poor silent majority who aren't as tough as me!
And if I hear one more fucking person say that America only joined World War 2 after it was already over, or that we were cowards for not joining sooner, I swear to God I’ma start criticizing the metric system again
I'd like to add that USians should stop invoking or giving so much of a shit about WW2 in general. Real "back when I was playing in the big game" Al Bundy vibes. You don't get to ride that righteousness forever just because our government landed on the right side of history one whole time, more than five decades ago.
five decades ago
oh no friend I have some bad news...

america making its own great firewall after everyone else on the internet was mean to them
it is already happening with the tiktok ban
From a comment the admin made in the thread
That’s fair, but somehow I never seem to see hatred directed towards any other nationality on Lemmy, aside from Americans. It seems like such behavior would inevitably be downvoted, as it should be.
there are literally comments with anti-china and russia brainworms in his thread
But when it comes to Americans, it’s open season for people to take pot shots, and it always gets upvoted regardless of its accuracy.
its almost like its the worlds hegemony or something
You all seem to implicitly think I’m somehow proud or bragging about America being the largest economic and military force in the world. That’s not even remotely the case, I think it’s entirely fucked. But that’s the world we live in. I’m just trying to explain what I’ve experienced and observed here, and understand what is causing that behavior.
proud enough to make a post crying about the oppresion of americans on lemmy
from another comment
You’re lucky that I even bother to respond, unlike the thousands of Americans who silently perceived that they weren’t welcome on this site and slunk back to reddit.
omg he is such a loser
Won't somebody please think of the redditors?
" If nothing else, the past week has reinforced my confidence in the local users of sh.itjust.works. Hexbear has been a massive disappointment, but SJW has, as always, provided an abundance of good takes.
I’m not cashing in my chips, I’m just realizing that I need to raise my level going forward. Hexbear is like the level 1 boss that we need to defeat to reach the next stage of Lemmy’s growth. They have a bombastic opening attack, but upon closer analysis they also have gaping vulnerabilities. "
Turns out the real final boss of lemmy is eurolibs who by saying americans suck are capable of ending lemmy as a whole
Hexbear: But for me, it was
TuesdaySunday.Shits.just.fash really living up to the name
Hexbear winning again, pioneers in Anti-american posting on Lemmy
And if I hear one more fucking person say that America only joined World War 2 after it was already over, or that we were cowards for not joining sooner, I swear to God I’ma start criticizing the metric system again
DIVIDING MEASUREMENTS INTO EQUAL PORTIONS BASED ON DEFINED FACTORS MAKES NO SENSEMY CAR GETS 40 RODS TO THE HOGSHEAD AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKES ITHow is it possible that all of these fuckwads are revealing their cards all at the exact same time right before trump gets inaugurated lmao. Like seriously, this fuck wins and all the companies and generally people who had merely the veneer of liberalism, just straight up publicly switch to fascism the moment their pink capitalism falls out of favor. Truly incredible
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.
I love posting this image:
If a shitload of Americans died in a war, then it was an unparalleled heroic sacrifice. If a shitload more communists died in the same war, it's because of lol savage brainpan, human wave tactics
"400,000 of you died? Wow sucks to suck, maybe get good at fighting?"
It's not just a shitload more communists that died, it's around 50 times as many. American losses make up just 0.5% of the deaths in WWII - and that's excluding the Holocaust.
if I hear one more fucking person say that America only joined World War 2 after it was already over, or that we were cowards for not joining sooner, I swear to God I’ma start criticizing the metric system again
if you don't stop being mean to me I'm going to shit in my pants so watch it bub
Far too kind an assessment, they waited because they were calculatedly evil fucks who wanted to see if they could get every Russian killed first
That's a fair point. I always assumed they waited because they agreed with both sides. I mean, in the European theater at least, both sides were almost totally fascist in the beginning other than the USSR.
The dude literally hosts a community that "jokes" about using nuclear and chemical weapons on Russia, regularly calls them slurs and another community specifically designed to screenshot anyone they don't like to target them for harassment and American's are the ones who are oppressed. Fucking yikes.
most other Americans will find it intolerable
good, piss off lol
Imagine thinking that this site not going mainstream is a bad thing
Fucking capitalist grow-or-die mindset
"Growth at all cost" is the mindset of cancer.
We need to find a way to give the word "chauvinism" some bite again, or find a good-sounding replacement that means the same thing.
Something that cuts to the stinking, stifling babyishness of it
Real rich coming from na.zijust.works
Hexbear famously not bullying the eurotrash
Baby Reich
a real
This is painfully Reddit coded
Time to bully more Americans if it's working. Also, if America was anywhere near the European continent (ie. not isolated by two oceans), I highly doubt they'd be saying stuff like "America controls the world, and Europeans are too salty about it and etc.)
yankkkoids will really write paragraphs of cope instead of engaging in any introspection
As a thick skinned open minded hwite amerikkkan, hate away.
On the one hand, many Europeans absolutely do have a moral superiority complex rooted in a salty jealousy and deep insecurity about Seppoland being the world's hegemon.
On the other hand, that's not what this is about, rather this weirdo appears to be a SepTick hoping to manifest destiny in a digital space, while pulling a "we can always tell" about ESL to boot.
embarrassing
