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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It'd have no karma system, so there'd be nobody to say or do things to artificially inflate votes.
There'd be subcommunities but they'd be decentralized from eachother so that there is no overlap. There'd be a central hub for you to navigate with that'll take you to where you want to go.
There would be a focus on privacy for sensitive communities. Like for example, if there's a mental health or depression community, any outside view would be blurred and you'd be unable to interact with the community unless you're registered and proved a set of credentials so that you're not there just to gather ammo on some people or risk being problematic for the sake of the community.
There wouldn't be a thing like on Reddit where, if you delete something, you can see it again through archives. Once it's deleted, it's gone, out of sight and out of mind.
And unlike Reddit, I'd prevent the abuse of alt accounts by actually installing verification systems through registering. It's amazing how ignorant they've been on their registration system.
