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.

If you're from the US, you're going to talk about the US. You want people from other parts of the world to speak for you? No? Then shut up

when addressing a global community, writing "US supreme court" or "supreme court in US" instead of just "supreme court" is not a lot to expect and neither is that hard. also your argument is shit.

I think they were just speaking (typing..) conversationally rather than "addressing a global community". Obviously a comment on an Internet forum is addressing a global community, but it's not a formal conversation, and as long as you understood the comment I don't get the need to complain about US defaultism here.
