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 admit that "Guilty until proven innocent" doesn't typically sit well with me. However, this is Facebook. We have 20 years of history to judge. At this point, only a willfully naive fool would trust them not to destroy anything they can't take control of and profit from.
Also, is the huge influx of content really added value? I don’t use facebook and its offshoots because the content is irrelevant or ragebait. I certainly don’t miss it over here, and while users can individually block Facebook from their feed, as far as I know this doesn’t protect the user's data from being federated to facebook unless their instance defederates them completely.
That’s my concern. I haven’t been on Facebook in years, and I don’t want to share anything with them now. I’ll likely be deleting a couple of accounts that are exposed to them.
