Hi admins,
I’m posting to request approval for me to create and moderate a community called LemmyHatesUSA or something similar. The function of the community would be for users to post links to other posts and comments in which Lemmy users criticize the USA. The purpose would be to create and maintain a running log of how much users on Lemmy criticize the USA. This could provide data to help assess the situation on Lemmy with the topic and observe patterns.
The reason I am asking for permission is because I want to make sure that I don’t use the instance for purposes that are not aligned with the vision of the admin team. Even if the proposed community does not violate the rules, I would like to know if the admin team would prefer not to have such a community. I don’t want to insist that an instance maintain a community they do not want on their server. I could find another instance on which to host the community.
If approved, I would be happy to receive suggestions related to community, even changing the name to something less aggressive, such as AntiUSALemmyContent or whatever other suggestions.
Lmao volunteer hall monitor energy.
Also, while I’ll proudly state I hate the US with my full chest, I think it’s telling that you want to log people merely criticizing it. Go touch grass or something. We only get one life to live fam, I promise, at the end of your days you’re not looking back at this embarrassing shit thinking it was time well spent.
for real I was not always the principled revolutionary but even in my younger days I at least had good enough instincts to know the US is the most evil country in the world, propping up all the lesser evils (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc)
I’m guessing you’ve also never had the instinct to be a low rent snitch either. Some folks just built different I guess
No sir, I have never seen anyone shoplift in my entire life. I think it’s a myth made up by the walton family to justify shuttering stores after they decimate the local economy in persute of ever expanding profits.
For sure, shoplifting is like unicorns - simultaneously cool and good, but otherwise doesn’t exist. And you absolutely shouldn’t believe anyone who claims to have seen either. They’re children or just lying for attention
Dessalines the creator of lemmy made this exhaustive list of US atrocities. If you read it you might get an idea of why most of us hate the evil empire.

Thanks! That looks like a pretty good list. Are there lists of the atrocities other countries have committed too?
The reason there are not other lists like that is because you can find endless (often fabricated or overblown) lists from major “journalist” outlets accusing other countries of atrocities, which often overlook the worst offender of them all.
You are not gonna find much interest in the community you are looking to create. Reddit would be a better avenue for this, because it basically already is that.
Edit: Sorry I am not upholding the hexbear reputation of hostility so let me be a little more blunt: Piss off lib.
Also what you are doing with this comment is the exact sort of whataboutism liberals constantly accuse the left of.
In bad country they keep a database of citizens who criticize their government.

I like this idea it would be great to network with like minded individuals from other instances who also hate the USA
Are you aware that Reddthat has disabled downvotes, and so would your potential community here as well?
Yes, votes wouldn’t matter really. It’s not about voting. It’s about keeping track.
Also, you are aware that Reddthat is Australian, right? Maybe a bit ironic to host a community listing hate against USA on a non-USA instance
About the whole community, if you launch it, you would probably see something like ShitUSAys as Lemmy version of ShitAmericansSay as a counterbalance.
Not sure if there is a need for such communities to keep track on how much crap citizens of different countries say.
