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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's all about your instance. Some instances are heavily moderated and will defederate anyone who is remotely toxic. Others do not. You just need to investigate which instance you join. Larger, more popular ones are going to have a broader demographic so, depending on your tolerances, you may have a greater chance of finding something more offensive. Smaller ones tend to have a more curated approach. Both of these observations are generally the case, but there are always exceptions. You can't really get the vibe of "Lemmy" as a whole (it commonly federates with Kbin servers for instance) or anything else on the fediverse. You need to find an instance that matches your ideals. This is easier said than done. You may even end up finding better ones or finding your current one doesn't serve your needs any longer. So I suggest finding out what type of migration strategy works best for you and migrate if you ever feel the need.
Thanks!
I think I fit pretty well with Solarpunk; though I think they have a bit of a utopian view at times. I think their overarching vision is great, but there are a 500 metric shitons of challenges to get to the world they imagine.
Want a glimpse of what I'm getting at? Read up on Iron Mountain Mine, Faro Mine, or Giant Mine. Those are just Three out of many, many sites that'll need cleanup.
