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

Some reddit megathreads have been migrated on to the instance I am currently at
American politics. Impossible.

People constantly asking the same questions, resulting in the same answers.
Oh wow, people wish Firefly wasn’t cancelled? This is certainly new information.
i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
You likely mean recurring ones, but the single event-driven ones make more sense? The recurring ones simply imho reflect a lack a technological capability to filter posts in as fine-tuned a manner as people seem to desire.

Posting clips of TV shows to places like r/funny
A reason to leave
Powermods and powermods bullying/stalking you just because you said something they personally didn't like. And no, I'm not talking about racism or politics. This happened over choosing healthy dieting strategies and being active in certain dieting subreddits. Yep.
Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

Goatsee
Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.
