A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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.

Just throw $2 a month toward Lemmy on Patreon! Well worth it.
The Lemmy devs are tankies who support the CCP and deny human rights violations
What are tanks tankies? What's another alternative to Reddit?
It's described in the link, "red fascists", they support """communist""" authoritarian regimes like the CCP and Russia.
Kbin is a good alternative which shares content with Lemmy.
I’m definitely not disagreeing with you, but Lemmy has grown so large since the original “tankies” started Lemmy.ml that I don’t think it is really an issue for the larger community. I’ve only been here for a month or so but I have not seen many (if any) communistic related posts on the feeds, and if they are trying to spread their leftist messages they are not doing a very good job of it.
I have found Lemmy.world to be the most active platform, so I wanted to help out with server costs, thus the $2 per month. I have also donated to Ernest at Kbin and the Beehaw folks as well. I’m not going back to Reddit, so I want these communities to thrive and feel I need to pitch in the cost of a Latte every month to help out. Having said that, if I ever get the feeling that I am donating to some authoritarian cause I will stop donating immediately.
I just wanted to make sure people knew that their money could go to tankies.
You said you were giving to "Lemmy" on patreon, not Lemmy.world so I assumed it was the devs.
Regarding the donation, I signed up at Patreon which is referred by Ruud who I believe is the admin for all the .world Lemmy and Mastodon instances. I just saw where they actually prefer donations via OpenCollective, so I will likely change mine to that at some point.
Thanks. Do you have their Opencollective link?
Yes, it is https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld (according to the link on lemmy.world main page)
Dude stop saying tankies it's cringe af
