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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm gonna try to be as neutral about this as possible:
lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net are mostly filled with self proclaimed "Marxist-Leninists" that support the USSR and PRC...
You can block instances in account settings...
Use this info however you want to
I used to be the guy saying "Hey, they're not that bad" until I get a comment removed for a stupid fucking reason". Why are mods such pathetic power tripping losers? I'm a community mod. I don't delete comments, even though I occasionally see ones that annoy me.
lemmy.ml defederated from ani.social ages ago, so OP is at least spared on that front.
Lemmy.ml has some pretty active communities on it. Might be worth it for OP to look over their most active communities and see if any interest them. If so, you have the option of blocking communities instead of the whole instance.
Lemmygrad and hexbear pretty much stick to their sociopolitical beliefs. If that's not your bag, then no real loss in blocking those instances.
Nope. Zero tolerance for .ml communities. Even if I'd otherwise be interested, their admins are so unpleasant that I would not recommend anyone participate in them.
