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.

Why did you not just say what your hobby is that includes driving so far away? Lol
Because I already have a bad habit of rambling and figured writing an entire paragraph to explain was neither needed nor wanted. I cut out half of my original comment, and the original draft didn't add anything about hobbies.
That doesn't justify insinuating that someone's a rapist, murderer, or whatever other angle theyre suggesting.
Also, I didn't ask you, I asked the user making the accusation.
It was a joke, it's a heavy thread and I was trying to inject some levity. Take a breath. Hope you had a happy Halloween my friend.
Ah yes, accusing someone of being a murderer or rapist is obviously light joking!
I would hate to be friends with you if this is what you consider a joke.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Wow, you are standoffish.
You literally jumped in to back up someone who's accusing people of being some kind of predator for no reason. Mind your own business, asshole
Uh, I don't think anyone seriously believed that you were a predator, it was a pretty obvious dark joke. The super defensive overreaction is way more suspicious than if you'd ignored it, or even learned into it.
And this is a public forum. "Minding your own business" is the exact opposite of its purpose.
