Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca are defederated from them. .ca is Canada based (if you didn't guess)
I have an account on both those, then an account on .ml and hexbear.
I created the Hexbear one recently as I wanted to be able to avoid their community when I wished but also learn about their community so I could get a greater understanding of it. They restrict to only upvotes and no downvotes which ensures more commenting when you disagree on something (which can be good or bad). They seem to be an outspoken, energetic group which is what made me not want to just dismiss them completely. I agree with them on a few things, and other things I obviously will be at odds. Then again I have a minor in Cultural Anthropology so maybe learning about them draws my interests differently than it might others.
