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.

What communities are these? Sounds like these are some toxic and/political communities. I try to stay away from political discourse online.
(Btw, that's not how you use "whom" π«ͺπ«£β€οΈ, sorry for pointing it out)
Hexbear and ml, hexbear is by far the worst. New people come on and wander onto these communities and say something that upsets them and get trolled to the point where they quit let me altogether it's actually a big problem.
I'm against censorship but many of these instances are not entirely wrong to De Federate from them, you have no idea how bad they are in this regard they are super aggressive. And their reach extends beyond those instances. If you piss them off there, they will get you banned here and there and elsewhere, and troll you.
To their credit, they were some of the original Developers as they were the first to be purged from reddit, and this is basically a Reddit refugee site.
This is why its a good idea for the bigger instances to defederate from hexbar
ml was actually my first server on the mobile app. I had no idea it was a black sheep until other communities on other servers stopped giving me access. I can't even remember now. I've been on world and (just viewing offline) for a while now.
Yeah, but I find it important to know what the extremes are saying. It's hard to know where you are sometimes and what can and can't be said.
When I was on Reddit, I tried to stay in both of the extreme camps just so I could know how scared to be in my current home country. I haven't seen any extremist stuff on Lemmy.world so it's my main server.
No sweat on the correction. I'll leave it so people can follow.
I think lemmy.zip tries not to defederate from anything except pedo instances, but that could be wrong.
Where is lemmy.zip hosted?
