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.

I'd go with
Built by weirdos like us for weirdos like us
Here we're all weirdos
By normals, for normals
Well that's a lie... A more honest version would be:
By tankies, for ex-Redditors
That's Lemmy, not the Fediverse
Fair

I came up with this a few years ago for my presentation of the Fediverse at uni. It focuses on the fact that it's decentralized.
Beans
"No subtleties allowed. Everything is literal."
If this place is for normals I should probably go
Don't mention beans please
Fuck Spez
Blame .ml
Fedi: look it's not that complicated, you just need to understand how decentralization can improve stability and openness by allowing users to...
Beans. Definitely beans.
The healthy vegetable among social networks, waiting for more vegetarians.

Can anyone hear me?
yes
It's a joke about people checking to see if their instance is federating correctly.
yes
Finally, normal people
I’ve asked AI. Here’s the single sentence splash text: THE FEDIVERSE IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR — A GLORIOUS, ALGORITHM-FREE, BILLIONAIRE-PROOF NETWORK OF THOUSANDS OF INTERCONNECTED COMMUNITIES WHERE YOU OWN YOUR DATA, YOU OWN YOUR FEED, YOU OWN YOUR DESTINY, AND YOU CAN FOLLOW ANYONE ANYWHERE ACROSS MASTODON, PIXELFED, PEERTUBE AND BEYOND, BECAUSE THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ISN'T AN APP YOU'RE LOCKED INTO — IT'S A WHOLE UNIVERSE THAT BELONGS TO YOU! 🚀🐘✨
Thank you for enriching the discussion with your AI output. Those tools are not available to most people here and we would have never thought about just generating a slogan. I mean in the end OP didn't try to engage with people and what they thought anyway, I think he's on a real quest to find the perfect slogan which will then probably be implemented into the fediverse head quarter and website.
This reminds me of another fitting motto: "fuck ai!"
Yeah, sentence...
AI isn’t perfect.
