Ask Lemmy
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's the same concept. Downside here is the tools they're provided with are a bit rough and need some more polish. It's been an issue for some time. And there are less people here. That also means less moderators and that can sometimes be an issue.
On the plus side people tend to be a bit nicer here. So we can most of the time get away with it.
There is drama both there and here. Occasional disputes and arguments whether somebody deleted something out of personal motivation or because it was warranted. Some people have an attitude and don't listen. Usually everything works to an acceptable level. I'd invite you to join and see for yourself.
Power abuse can happen. I don't think there is a technical solution to make things like that impossible. It's the instance admins who are responsible to handle that.
