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.

      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.
