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.

I can't even remember them all, but it's usually one of the following, in no particular order:
-- Someone who started well but whose channel is now just ads for paid content elsewhere, OR whose content is clearly only there to serve as a vehicle by which to present all their merch, affiliate links, new products, paid collaborations, etc., and/or where the content itself is merely a series of reminders about "check the link in the description!" every two minutes to the extent that even Sponsor Block can't keep up (the art communities tend to have these more than others do)
-- Someone who is casually cruel, or if they mock others in a way that could even be remotely considered serious (Cam Anderson of Blacktail Studios is my sole exception here: mouth like a flamethrower but it's hilarious and clearly not meant seriously except in regard to his ex-roommate, iykyk)
-- Someone who draws me in on content but turns out to have an incessant whine or series of gripes or is embroiled in unending conflicts
-- Someone who leans heavy on religion, or uses voiceover to deliver extended essay-like monologues on some unrelated subject
-- Someone who turns out to be right-wing/fascist or strikes me as a propagandist, and/or delivers propagandistic content that seems to rely on emotional interaction or visceral response from the viewer
-- AI content: I can live with a splash screen/intro or other minor bits, but otherwise I don't want to see it or hear it
