  See that’s what I meant though. Just because I am criticising one aspect of your post doesn’t mean I am someone who would call you a Nazi or that I am affiliated with people that would. I’m my own person.

    Sure, but here in the US when when we say “you all” we don’t literally mean every single person. It’s a from of casual speech that means “a lot” or “most.”

    Trust me, when I say a lot of people dislike me. In fact, some hated me so much that they said I had over 45,000 downvotes, wrote a program to track my every downvote, and then admins jumped in and agree that I was in the top three most downvoted people on Lemmy. Same username as this, but on a different instance.

    Then I was banned from an instance. And they even made a special post about my banning in a c/politics community. In fact, as far as I can tell, it was the only non-political post in that community.

    But I used their bullying and even put their specs in my profile.

    So I came to this instance, and people from THAT instance followed me here to downvote a lot of stuff and send me nasty DM’s.

    So when I say “you all” it has some meaning. But no, it’s not YOU specifically. ANd not, it’s not every single person on Lemmy. But it’s a lot.

    Welcome to casual native US english language friend.

    And wanna see what comments and posts I was banned for? Take a look: lemm.ee/modlog/5241?page=1&actionType=All&userId=…

      I guess it just confused me that you used that wording in a thread where I am pretty much used to 1:1 communication. But it makes sense if you expect a lot of people to read these comments. Still feels like I was addressed with that since you were replying to my comment and the points I was making

        I see your point. But I have people who actually track my posts and see what I post. So even to a small community like this, they see my comments. So it was definitely directed to them and not you personally.

        But know, I’m not mad at you and I don’t have any issues with you. I appreciate you being level-headed about everything, friend! :)
