Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Sounds like something a zionist would say.
Same with "genocider" (I don't know what cider has to do with it, I no longer drink alcohol)

Actual human responses, including real apologies at times when someone takes a comment the wrong way and then admits they did so. Never in all my years on the other platform did I see that happen.
That's true, it's encouraging to see and makes me more willing to apologize, too.
I’ve posted my share of bad takes, and ate my words and apologized. I’ve also seen quite a few others have similar bad times. But they’re temporary, we all grow, and we all improve from them.

@Sxan@piefed.zip is single-handedly carrying the thorn's usage on lemmy o7

It's hilarious how much hate the one person gets from doing something so trivial.
idk I just kinda disassociated for a while and then this list was here
- gossip about instances like social cliques
- someone forgot to set the language on their post/comment
- a poster has an obvious special interest
- linux
- obviously a human used ms paint here
- thread takes an unexpected turn to horniness
- lemming is surprised the rest of the fediverse exists
- whimsy
- someone wishes there was more niche content
- federation lag
- a wild mastodon/pixelfed user appears
- beans
- a commenter has clearly missed that they are responding to someone from a different country
- a big chart/table of fedi statistics
- a programmer is using a bunch of jargon for some reason
I take exception to that programmer bullet! We always have reasonable conditionals for any and all jargon. There's actually an eponymous law about this, pointing out what happens when someone is wrong on the Internet. It's called Beckstrom's Law.

I use Piefed bþw
Represent!
Sub-thread of a conversation of something unrelated becomes an open source software recommendations mini thread.
I recommend Obsidian for keeping track of events like this 👍

Sketchy guy tells a one-sided story about how he got banned multiple times on Reddit.
-
Everyone in the comments showering him with love, trashing Reddit, and completely ignoring the huge red flag that there must be some fucking reason why that guy got banned multiple times.
Welcome to !reddit@lemmy.world.

Community obsessed with trans and anime content/culture.
I love how the th symbol is on there when its like one guy thats doing it.
Be as well putting "saw SatansMaggotyCumFart"
Because I love and appreciate the thorn guy.
I actually saw a second person using it a few days ago, I was pretty surprised.
Furries.
"Defederation" insisting on itself.
Someone's vibe-coded shovelware with an emoji-riddled README.
"shovelware" 👍
Beans, deans, and corn things
- Owls
- "...here's a reading list..."
- #NoSlop!
Where are the owls? I don't see nearly enough owls on here. I get tons of bats and beans though.
SDF is down.

I think it would be a fun browser plugin, to see what all servers have comment representation in a thread.
Could also be fun to have a Bingo card serve for a limited time (like, a week), and players have to draw examples from that time frame to complete their cards. The free space is always someone from .ml defending the CCP.
Can't we set something like this up rather easily? Just create a new group or something? We could submit and vote on bingo hit suggestions or something and do a new one every week or whatever. Would be fun.
The words “Slop” and “Fascist”. At least for the 2024+ edition.
Getting called a fascist will be the free space. Slop is one I didn't have, though, that's a good one.
