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 !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm worried for the state of the internet.
Not because communities like this exist, but because it seems everyone in the thread is failing to recognize obvious trolling. Have you kids never heard of flaming? This is the most egregious ragebait and y'all are taking it
Fear not, because a single person doesn't constitute a community. And Madthumbs gets talked about every six months or so, when a batch of new users discover them. Everyone then completely forgets about them until the next cycle.
I joined lemmy a couple of days ago, this whole community feels like the most autistic and socially inept part of reddit. Really weird to read the comments on lemmy.
Well 90% of the users here are autistic trans furries soooo....
Hey, I'm not trans, I'm just an ally who enjoys the egg_irl and related communities. And I'm barely even Aspergic. And only one of the four family laptops has linux on it, and it's not even Arch, it's Mint.
My first thought was that this was a parody of /r/conservative
A single user making dozens of posts and rarely getting any response? I wouldn't call that egregious, it just seems ineffective to me.
Ragebait and trolling are fine for me, but there is imo one place where this doesn't belong: The rules section of a lemmy community
