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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I think most people here left Reddit when Spez started the thing with the API and asserted his dominance during the protests. That's when we learned it's not our platform, but his. And he has a very different vision for the place.
People who properly like 4chan don't really mix with other people. It's for trolling, shitposting, sharing porn and gore amongst random stuff or shouting at each other. More anarchy than other places. And filled with incels and 14 year olds. I mean it's a bit more than that and it has it's unique culture. But there isn't really an overlap with people who like places like this one. This is less anarchy, you can discuss your Linux server adminisration woes here without getting yelled at. Or share pictures of your crocheting pieces. Of course also memes and pictures.
So in summary: Where else would I be? I'm not 14 anymore and Reddit gave me the finger.
