Ask Lemmy
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 !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.

More diverse politics stances rather than just commies and liberals
That’s not very “owns the means of production” of you.
But all joking aside, there’s something fundamentally socialist about the fediverse. Like it’s by design decentralized to let people own their instance.
Oh man... you're speaking directly to why I made Actual Discussion (consider this a personal invite).
We frequently get one-time posters coming in and flaming (or downvoting without reading) on any thread that may not agree with them, then when challenged with sources, they vanish. It's brutal. I wish we could disable certain behaviours on our instance or in the Community itself.
Honestly I just and less politics. More diverse just means more fighting. I just want less politics in subs that are not inherently political.
Me too, but every other post on lemmy is about sticking it to their parents and their beliefs. It's a bunch of teenagers who never grew out of their rebellious phase
Yeah, it absolutely is. It's disappointing because I had hoped Lemmy would be a bit more working and middle class people and fewer kids. Not that their viewpoint is invalid, but reddit is filled with teenagers and I was hoping for a slightly older skew.
I'll just try to remember that, yes, they are kids, and they are currently in their rebellious phase so I can't expect much different 😅
