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.

Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it's time to find a new home.

So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.

Where are you going?

Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to "stay legal", they can start with those items.

This is new territory for most instance admin and a volunteer effort. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to consider sharing constructive feedback with them as a first step instead.

As for finding new instances, it's generally recommended to visit https://join-lemmy.org/instances.

I have. I have also read their reasoning posts for some of their community bans. As a matter of fact, my last post about this is at the top of the support community and was made only when I only knew about the shrooms community takedown.

I think their only response is going to be is for them to dig in their heels. (And their happy little takedown messages were really shitty and drive that home, TBH.) So yeah, I am going to migrate to another "home" instance. This is kind of a pain as my profile history is getting fragmented across different instances.

While they can "do what they want" as admins, flexing on budding communities in bad faith is not a good way to retain a user base for very long.

Really, I do want to see all instances and communities thrive! Their methodology is not supporting that right now.
