A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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


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.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I've noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There's like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?

I'm chill, I'm just replying to you lol

You can't answer some questions in return? What does this interaction do for you?

I call out hypocrites when I see them and you are one of the prominent negative nancies of lemmy, when i saw your comment here i just laughed because you are one of the accounts OP is calling out

And I replied to you because I knew you would immediately start throwing insults at me, proving my point

Y’know to be fair I read through my comments here to see where I insulted you.

I didn’t find any insults.

Again, take a look at my post history. I'm quite positive to everyone except men who think they can punch down on women with no one saying anything.

I'll fucking say something. I'm not dodging that and I'm not shying away from it. But I don't initiate it.

I'm not going to look at your post history because I already know it's a bunch of whining and negative bullshit doom and gloom

You accused me of hating all men and thought I was going to continue to be sweet to you?

Don't dish out what you can't take yourself.

You want to hate me.
