Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

As long as it doesn't end up with a bunch of bad actors leaving reddit for here and bringing their shit with them, making this place as bad as reddit has become.
It will. I think it's inevitable, unless Lemmy development starts focusing on automated mod tools as soon as possible. You don't want to deal with hundreds of thousand of users without a good content filter, it's basically impossible. And it will be even harder due to the federated nature, since it's easier to sneak unmoderated content into the network.
We'll be fine as long as there isn't corporate or financial interests. More humans of all kinds is fine. Making Mastadon and Lemmy unfriendly place for "profit", (marketing and advertising) means that greed won't drive people's behaviour. Greed for clout is still greed.
I hope more center and right wing people will come so conversations become more interesting.
Clearly some people don't like diversity.
