A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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 !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.

In my opinion, the only viable way to go for social networks like this is to be decentralized and run by the people. Anyone who is jumping on one of the corporate run Reddit alternatives is just delaying the deadline a bit. Eventually, Profit motives will turn those to shit as well. To me, federated services are the future.
Also, because it’s slightly harder to use than normal sites, the boomer nazis haven’t overrun Lemmy yet, so currently it just feels really great.
😂 This is so true... Being liberal I always second guess myself and I don't want this to be an echo chamber, I want my beliefs and ideas to be challenged, but Conservatives aren't arguing policy nuance... They are fucking trying to exterminate people and elect a sociopath...
So what do we do... I hope we get diverse discussion on here, while keeping the Nazis away.
Agreed. I always look at it like this: Politics should be determining the best way to implement and expand human rights, not debate whether we should have them at all.
If only!!! Instead it's at best a discussion of who deserves it and how much. Can't say how much I appreciate seeing this comment it sums up my strongest feelings so much more succinctly than I ever could.
