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.

32, most of them being spammers or serial posters, with the occasional bad faith and/or too hostile or angry person that I simply do not wish to read in the future.
I don't block entire instances because my feed only shows me what I'm subscribed to (meaning I don't see much of those communities that are the most likely to trigger shitty/low effort content posting) and I've not yet felt the need to censor a whole instance no matter how many morons, or worse, are thriving in it... simply because I'm not forced to read them.
BTW, when I moved from Lemmy to piefed the block list was one the two things I wished to bring with me. I could not bring the other one (my posts/comments) but, hey, at least I was able to keep spam and trolls at bay ;)
Edit: clarifications.
