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.

Corollary I am already doxed and I don't post things I would not associate with in my personal or professional life.
I assume that someone vindictive could use things against me that I say, so I only say things I believe in or that are obvious satire. I'm outright hostile to people that don't have any empathy or critical thinking ability. I'm hostile to my co-workers when they don't show any critical thinking skills and I guess that's privilege I enjoy.
On the other side of the coin, I use my real name openly and have done so for decades. I'm also openly trans, and it's not hard to work out where I'm from, so with that, it's trivial to track me down. Yet I'd rather roll the dice of that possibility than interact anonymously, and lose my connections and community.
Have you had any trouble with this approach or has it worked out?
No problems so far
