40315 readers
953 users here now
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
True. I just got here cuz I feel Reddit is being too mainstream these days.
when my suburban conservative suv conformity at all costs family is quoting reddit posts to me... yeah it's way too mainstream. 10 years ago they would have seen reddit and dismissed it as a haven for leftwing nutjobs and nerds.
i haven't used it in 5 years now.
You'd have been permanently banned by now.
i was 'perma banned' multiple times. IP bans even, and they kept unbanning me so they could sell me IPO stocks.
It's a joke of a site now. most of my old communities imploded anyway, or got locked down to mod-only approved posting, which meant they became echo chambers of the mods beliefs only.
I hated running into the "hidden" rules for communities by mods. You cant say certain words in certain communities as that would get you shadow-banned (you cant say meshcore in the meshtastic subreddit for instance).
And then reddit giving notices for up-voting certain content it does not want others to see .
They want conversions one way only. And supermods that have hundreds of subreddits under them like its a full time job....
Im glad im here.
I only started catching bans within the past two years. What were you saying that kept getting you into trouble?
Either Reddit got significantly worse, or, my going paranoia: you become the target of political operatives (Zionists, in my case) who mercilessly report anything vaguely actionable until you leave. I just saw the light on Israel a short time before I began catching bans and warnings, but could just be a coincidence.
posting pictures of my cat and being reported for inciting violence. because he was outdoors in the picture and all outdoor cats are mass murderers, according to the Very Smart folks who use reddit.
That was a site-wide ban?
You said you got REPEATED bans, though. Does your cat have a Hitler mustache or something?
yep. the anti-outdoor cat people are insane.
All outdoor cats are mass murderers objectively speaking, but a photo of an outdoor cat is not any kind of incitement..
No, they are not. That bullshit is a shitty infographic that distorted results from the actual stud(ies).
But people are idiots and don't read scientific studies, they just let dramatic political cartoonists tell them what to think.
Which studies? Maybe I've just been propagandized by Big Anti-Outdoor Cat?
My personal datapoint is how my yard was completely devoid of bird sounds a year after we moved in with our outdoor cat.
cool. my cat never caught a bird in his 10 year life with me. he only ever caught baby rabbits which we have an massive over population amount of anyway.
too bad house cats can't kill deer.
