A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

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.

6) No US Politics.

Something akin to Against Hate Subreddits, that place is an utter hellhole which is one of if not the most hateful places on the site - hell even the entire internet.
The people who use it are also some of the most insufferable people you'll ever meet on the internet.
I'd also like to not see single power mods rule over hundreds or thousands of different communities, that is also cancer.

Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting
Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

Goatsee
Posting clips of TV shows to places like r/funny
People constantly asking the same questions, resulting in the same answers.
Oh wow, people wish Firefly wasn’t cancelled? This is certainly new information.
A reason to leave
Powermods and powermods bullying/stalking you just because you said something they personally didn't like. And no, I'm not talking about racism or politics. This happened over choosing healthy dieting strategies and being active in certain dieting subreddits. Yep.
i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
You likely mean recurring ones, but the single event-driven ones make more sense? The recurring ones simply imho reflect a lack a technological capability to filter posts in as fine-tuned a manner as people seem to desire.

American politics. Impossible.
Crappy mods and the ignorant, egotistical attitude that plagued reddit for years, making it the laughingstock of the internet.
