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.

I was permabanned from Reddit for correctly identifying Elon Musk's political affiliations. Fuck spez and his bullshit.
I got perma banned for "inciting violence" because I said the Trump admin is/will go after lgbt people.
That's what they say. Some bootlicking fashy mod just didn't like you insulting their bronze golem or their emerald mine Führer.
Ya, conservatives in 2008 to 2016 were usually mocked relentlessly and buried, life went on. But now reddit has definitely been infiltrated by the right wing and you get banned for making them cry.
I had one account banned because I posted in a right wing sub of all places discussing Lord of the rings. The alt right has a weird obsession with LOTR if you didn't know. . I posted a video clip of clerks 2 where Randall is trashing the LOTR movies and says the true ending should be frodo bricking in Sam's mouth. Got banned for gay bashing in a right wing sub where they do it daily. The irony is astounding
it was mostly quiet before 2016, when trump won, russia realize reddit was a prime target so it has bombarded with so much propaganda, that bans started happening left and right for the slightest issue. also the gop/russia was responsible for shutting down alot of "controversial subs"
That type of stuff didn't happen to me, but I saw it happening to others. That's mostly why I left. Also I used the app Boost for Reddit, which became Boost for Lemmy so that helped me find an alternative and Reddit choosing corporate fascism helped me not look back.
spez loves him thats why
