A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics.

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.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

THIS ISN'T A DISCUSSION COMMUNITY! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS. MOST POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS AREN'T OPEN ENDED.

Seriously? You're this pedantic on the word discussion? Ok I will amend my first comment to:

We just had probably the most consequential election of our life and you want to ban ~~discussion~~questions and the resulting discussion in the comments?

Jeez all over again.

Most questions are "How screwed are we?, How did we fuck up this bad? Why are the Republicans so dumb?". Like, these aren't the types of questions this community was meant for bruv. And don't act like you don't know that.

Then you make a rule "no low effort political questions".

How about none at all. Go to [email protected] if you can't help yourself.
