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.

I don't block, I label them with a tag, usually 'asswipe'.
A guy commented a screenshot of me with a tag like that. "Toxic do not interact". I do act toxic in the shitpost community lmao so, fair. I'm real good in serious communities though.
The left lemmy vibe is very-much bipolar.
You could post identical comments 10 minutes apart and one could be downvoted to oblivion whilst the other is top comment.
Might be the unironic usage of "whilst"? 😅😶
the tankies are the problems, they behave too similar like conservatives.
I do that too, but also if you enable tracking votes (I'm using Voyager) then you basically are tasking positive and negative encounters and you get an idea what a thread will be like just by looking. Example, you and OP appear to be nice peeps:
Never knew about the tracking option; I'm piqued.
Tankie and Energy Vampire are my two go to tags. I only block spammers or anything horrific like the couple times some assholes did CSAM attacks.
Yup, once I figured out I could tag users I started doing that instead. Much better to be prepared than to just choose blindness.
Generally I'm a bit more specific though.
