Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]

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.

Mods keep removing political comments in a post that's clearly political. But leave the post up. Nice!
Also somewhat amusing that my reply about the US Constitution, our founding political document, remains up. Discussing the Constitution is about as political as you can get.
At any rate, I didn't realize there was a new rule here. I get it though, election year and all.
I removed the comment above yours. I took the approach that where a comment could reasonably be interpreted as a hypothetical question (or response to), and thus not about actual US politics as they are occurring, they were left up. It's about trying to remove posts and comments that are against the purpose of the community, but also respecting those that are not. Personal judgement is often required and not everyone will agree with every decision. Shades of grey....
