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. My display name was Socialist Mormon Satanist, username was Universal Monk, 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: https://lemm.ee/modlog/5241?page=1&actionType=All&userId=14544853

Oh, and here is an entire community named after me, and with a graphic of me in the banner. The "UM" stand for Universal Monk. Which was my username. And take a look at the sidebar for the community, it says "No Universal Monk" lol https://lemm.ee/c/politics_no_um@lemmy.world

So yeah, my use of "you all" covers a lot of fucking people. And here we are. Trump wins. Looks like people spending all all their time dumping on me, could have used their time better in other pursuits! lololololol

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.

Just so ya 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! :)
