Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 just don't want my opinion to be censored for political reasons. That's what I had hoped for from Lemmy – not some propaganda bullshit. Do you really see this platform as a counterpart to Truth Social? If so, then I'm in the wrong place, because I'm interested in exchanging opinions and arguments, not in having my opinion confirmed.
Literally look at Truth Social. Or better, don't. For a social platform to be healthy, it needs to be censored for poitical reasons. It's just the political reasons have to be about, and for, good.
I got my comments deleted on Lemmy because I mention people's possible hair colours, and was banned from Hexbear for similar reasons. I understand your frustration, I'm sorry it happens and honestly, I wonder if there are any better discussion spaces online (Reddit is even worse than what it originally was, which is saying a lot). I'm freeloading here, haven't given Lemmy a cent, maybe you'll feel better commenting here if you don't give them any money? You might be silenced (until you create a new account), but at least you won't get scammed.
