Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Reddit has proved that no, you can't just do that. Welcome to the age where a thousand bots are being banned every hour, and a thousand more accounts created to take their places. Welcome to the age where grassroots word-of-mouth recommendations are mass produced, tailored to appear natural while preying upon known psychological vulnerabilities of humanity. Welcome to the age where every joe schmoe who's trying to bust into the business wants to leverage the advertising power of trillion-dollar conglomerates to manipulate you into buying their alibaba dropshipped trash.
Wanting businesses to stay out of social media is not a case of "don't want the fediverse to grow", it's a case of "would rather the fediverse grew naturally as it has so far rather than grow like a cancer with no care for the host body". This is a bad faith argument and a logical fallacy. Don't do this again.
Honestly you should delete this whole post and rethink your life - that is, if you're not actually a shill being paid to do this.
No notes. Poetry. Bravo!
