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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
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.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

most news/politics communities here are nothing but doomerism.
i like news and politics but I can't do it here because it's so insanely one-sided doomerism to the point it's just vomit-inducing. Nothing good ever happens to anyone, according to the lemmy view of these things.
Things we think are good happen. But they are terrible given time. Like agriculture.
you may want to follow communties and also block some people who maybe not the best
i've been here for 3+ years.
no amount of following/blocking can ever combat the endless need of average users to post ragebait slop for clicks, and constantly play morality police for everyone else here who doesn't 120% agree with their ignorant viewpoints about the world.
this place is reddit-lite now. give it another 5 years and it will be reddit all over again. people do this shit to themselves.
we aren't ever going back to the internet where you could be chill, folks don't want it that way.
I do
Tell me why
...Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Yessssss
that maybe also why some lemmy instances are not the best, they haven't learnt from the other/orange site
they havent made rules or anything to make sure that people arent like the people from the other site
but i think that the instances shouldn't be beehaw either
I do.
Ain’t nothin but a heart ache
