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.

For my brother, it let him openly be sexist, racist, homophobic, anti-trans, and hateful. I haven't spoke to him since 2017 when we got into a big fight and he said some pretty horrid things about my wife.
I'll never understand the mind of those people. I mean granted I'm gay, so I guess I'm more empathic to minorities, but if I was a straight, white, cis man, what would I win with hating these groups or what would I lose by letting these groups exist?
I'm a straight, white, cis man and I don't understand it either.
Like the lawn sign in front of my friends' house says: "More rights for others doesn't mean less for you. It's not a pie."
Everyone likes to feel superior in some way. To a lot of people, they were born superior, especially those who feel like they are not important in any other way.
