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 !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 !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

They will immediately move back to discord.
Honestly. Discord ain't going nowhere.
Sure a few FOSS projects might re-locate, and I hope they do... but we've seen time and again that large user bases are happy to suffer any abuse their corporate overlords want to throw at them.
IRC, Ventrillo, and Teamspeak weren't going anywhere either but then...
Not saying heading back to discord isn't possible, just lets not dismiss possibilities outright.
But also they had close competition, and when discord first came around it was only marginally better than them.
This isn't even a close run race, Discord is the hare and the rest are tortoises
... but then they were superseded when a better alternative emerged.
That's not analogous to discord's predicament.
