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.

Yeah - I left Reddit long before the API crackdown because I realized people don't create special interest subreddits to actually have a mature, intelligent discussion about their topic. They rather are places of worship, where criticism or rather anything but complete adulation is seen as "off topic" at best and as blasphemy at worst. And I'm not even talking about remotely political subreddits, rather than subreddits about e.g. cooking, podcasts, movies, music, etc. The result of which is of course is a completely imbecile crowd of people whose personality is 100% made up of being a fan of some thing, and who are unable to not discuss anything about that thing on a theoretical, non-personal basis. The type of people who send self-made cookies to podcasters hoping to become IRL friends with them ;-)
