A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.

Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in? (lemmy.world)

You're not missing anything. Reddit is the embodiment of Empty Internet Theory. If you're a human posting on that site, you're a statistical anomaly. And not for long, because everyone's getting booted.

I got booted because:

I said Peter Thiel should be turned to soup
I said Th-iel should be turned to soup
I said that I had previously been given a suspension for saying Peter Thiel should be turned to soup.

So now I'm redditless.

LOL! Thiel soup.. guaranteed to cause the shits!

I got permabanned for saying a naughty thing about Stephen Miller.

Boiling Hydrofluoric Acid
Peter Thiel

I don't recommend eating the rich, due to Prions. It'd be better to render them and process them into fertiliser.

I'd hate to see what all the dick pills in Elon Musk's bloodstream would do to a field of corn.

dent corn that'll put a dent in you

That rendering process better be thorough - prions survive in the soil.
Edit: hydrofluric acid probably isn't very good for the soil either.

Would prions survive the acid?

No. I really hadn't thought my comment through.

It was fake. It wasn't even Republican.

The big and medium communities are lost. Small niche communities still have some good followings and timely content.
