If you post certain contents in a fascist friendly instance, things like that can happen, unfortunately.
Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.
America is a continent and Americans are people from that continent (Canadians, Usonians, Mexicans, Cubans, Argentinians, Brazilians…)

You called me “loser”. While that can seem innocent to a neurotypical, it’s devastating to a neurodivergent.
Do you think it’s OK to call names to a neurodivergent person (ADHD/ASD)?
Obviously he’s not a “dictator”, and that foreign minister should be sacked. Because Xi is a “supreme almighty emperor whose words are worth to be enforced or else…” A bit of background knowledge is never a bad thing.
Well, that’s very easy to fix. Just hide the playstation beep with another random louder noise. Then profit.
Person with ASD, more likely.
Can you explain this gap in your resume?
Yes. I can.
…
…
So?
So what?
Why don’t you explain it?
Because you didn’t asked me to explain it, you asked me if I could explain it.
But English, being a de facto universal language, has good creativity to invent new words, either from native speakers or from foreign influences. For example, the word “D’oh” didn’t exist until Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta) popularized it. And I think the word “meme” didn’t exist either 40 or 50 years ago.
I think a good way to know that is to read newspapers from 100 years ago or older, and see how people from US were called.
Whether it’s one continent or two, the point is that it’s bigger than the United States. At least I’ve always studied that Americans are people who live in America, either from Canada, United States, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina… Then you can divide them between North Americans and South Americans.
That’s exactly what happens to me when I tell them America is a continent. Like, WTF?
There is a polandball community on Lemmy, but it doesn’t seem very active :(
Besides, I don’t think those are good manners to address a neurodivergent person (ADHD/ASD).
You’re not answering my question.
Do you know that it’s a really bad thing calling names to a neurodivergent person (ADHD/ASD)?
I don’t see the Russian flag anywhere to talk about a far-right regime. Do you?
It’s not polarizing when I don’t see tankies polarizing it :P
On Kbin, I don’t see much European politics, unfortunately.
I’m really sorry for what happened to you. And I’m really disappointed because lemmy allows fascist instances and fascist friendly instances to stay, like lemmy.ml, the bears, the grads, and others. Why can’t they just leave like exploding-heads did? Why right fascism is bad and left fascism is good, when fascism is fascism after all?
