A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

youve learned from your government

call people unpleasant words like "criminals", "cultists", "terrorists" and more and then you can try to shift public opinon

You conveniently left out 'conspiracy theorist'. -Peculiar.

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

anyways want to actually have a conversation/debate where you dont get to ban anyone that agrees with you

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

We ban to spare us from dealing with people with poor reading comprehension, conspiracy theorist belief patterns, integrity issues, etc. No one is stopping you from posting your nonsense in every other part of the internet.

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

it seems like anyone trying to get a serious debate started gets banned

and windows is spyware

telemetry, recall, all that

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

^^ good example, thank you! Conspiracy theorists are often relegated to their little corners of the web.

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago

you have relegated yourself to yours

you have a community of what 3 real people?

and you ban anyone that disagrees with you

and everyone else has you banned

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

you can literally see the telemetry tab on windows.....

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Drama Telemetry is a great thing. You're just letting us know you're a conspiracy theorist. lol
