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
 

At this point, it’s become a bit meme on Reddit to share the creepy or disgusting DMs you receive. However, nothing like that has happened to me here yet, even though I’ve been active for the equivalent of three or four of those pervy chat invitations on Reddit. I’m no less active here.

I got some! Even a dick pick. Was a good one so wasn't even too mad

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn’t there someone that kept spamming the inbox of people (including mine).

Nicole, the Fediverse chick!

I feel so lonely now. RIP

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah! That one, hah.

I recall some users get threatening / doxxing messages, but the admins shut that down pretty fast. I think that qualifies as creepy.

The other week I saw someone publically replying to Velma that they know who she is and where she lives in a "not threatening" threatening way, which was pretty fucked up.

To get these messages, you need to severely irritate a special kind of user. I most often see it as a result of having escalating political arguments.

Yeah I definitely get some.....interesting DMs and comments aimed at me. Being an outspoken woman will ruffle some feathers haha

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Damn, nobody deserves that. Not even Velma 😛 (/srs, Velma is actually pretty cool but it's funny to exaggerate)

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wait, who the hell is Velma? I thought we only had a Violet around here.

Then like 4 people that post memes. Then you and me.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 minutes ago

I'm the local feminist killjoy around here lol

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well, you haven't given me consent! I'm a pervert but you gotta show interest first.

Tho, you're probably too inundated atm for me to chip in with lustful words. Hope your day goes well!

[–] ChunderBustickles@piefed.nz 28 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Show us your ~~boobs~~beans!

[–] Sly2@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 hours ago

less people here. more people on reddit, especially the medical subs, which had a problem with perverts/minors.
