A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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.

MODERATORS
 

Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.


(it appears that the moderator is removing any replies with which he disagrees. It might be a piefed issue. But all the removed replies are top level and upopular. Stranger coincidences have happened I suppose.)

Microwaving things in plastic. It’s proven to leach an enormous amount of plastic into your food immediately, but most people still won’t switch to a ceramic or glass plate or bowl to microwave.

Same with using teflon for food. Particles immediately break off into your food. Also using teflon anything increases demand for it and thus increases the amount of PFAS in the soil and water streams.

Having poorly ventilated air in their homes, and in public spaces. Since COVID things have gotten a little better, but measures promoting and maintaining filtered air should be considered the default, not opt-in.

one of the moderators came through and removed every reply that he disagreed with

All comments are intact on my end, i.e. on Lemmy.world, except for two deleted by the author. Check for yourself (in a browser). The one by gastroglizzy@piefed.social is a joke written that way by the commenter.

Some of the people running Piefed are known to be rather crazy.

P.S. That said, I opened the post on Piefed, and everything is also there. OP is just butthurt that their comment got downvoted.

The unhealthy obsession of cleansing and abstinence from vices. Enjoy your beer/meat/smoke/etc just don’t make it a problem.
