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.

Ironically, a Reddit mod sent me this way (well, it was probably a bot). Somehow I'd managed to play by the rules for 13 years, but what do I know? Apparently it's bad to suggest someone with very clear emotional issues find someone they trust to talk to about things - a friend, relative, or professional. It was a short interaction with a random commenter, but I was genuinely trying to be helpful.
I was banned for ... bullying? Hate speech? Something like that?
Who knows. I forget.
I went and deleted it all, anyway. My entire account. No training their AI from my data, thanks.
And fuck 'em all to Uranus!
This place is far more interesting, generally the people are far more open, intelligent, and polite to begin with (and not automatically looking to go to war because someone else had the temerity to slightly disagree with them over politics, art, religion, whatever). There is definitely a more community feel overall.
I wish I'd been banned from Reddit sooner!
