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.

This is an ask community, not a politics community. Not everything revolves around America
... And now you can't ask anything about politics. There's was doubtless going to be political questions to ask, and politic adjacent (where do I move) that will all be removed.
And you can't even ask about effects on the world either! Gaza, Ukraine, NATO, trade, tariffs, etc. Are those going to be removed? All valid questions, but sounds political to me.
Like way to shut down shit tons of conversation.
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 !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world if you can't help yourself.
It isn't called 'ask lemmy about anything other than politics'.
How does that disqualify US political questions from being posted here, then?
POST IT IN ANOTHER FUCKING COMMUNITY! IF THERE ISN'T ONE, THEN BE PROACTIVE AND CREATE ONE.
They don't even have to create one, it's there !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
That's not what I asked.
Not American, but can't we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.
Feel free to ask on !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
