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.

Lemmy is comprised of many instances, many domains, all of which have their own agenda. Some are right-leaning like .ml and .world and the moderators practice similar censorship to Reddit (including but not limited to progressive, controversial, anti-establishment or anything against their personal values), some are extreme hate incel groups that only talk about killing or doxxing people and are unmoderated maybe, some have moderators who endeavour to uphold the ideal of true freedom of speech and refuse to censor anybody, and some (Looking at you, Blåhaj) are left-leaning, have mods that allow everything except hate speech, and aim to protect the queer community from cruelty at all costs.
So the answer is "anything your heart desires". The repercussion or censorship of your contribution depends on the policies of the instance you account with and the instances whose communities you interact with.
Blahaj bans people under false pretenses. They are not subtle about it.
Your description of them is laughably wrong. Using protecting vulnerable people as an excuse to shut down people that disagree with you or your pals in a way that does not violate any rules is not protecting vulnerable people in fact it could be making them less protected all around.
