Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about current 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.
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Another great thing about Lemmy is that people can choose what they want to see instead of a platform deciding for them.
If you don't like the bots, block them. If someone wants the bots, they can subscribe to the communities.
It's really only a problem when someone is making too many separate bots that it gets hard to block all of them
It is also a problem if it is not obvious that it is bot generated content and another if it floods actual user generated content.
The ‘All’ feed could be considered a blessing or a curse.
Nevermind the bots.
If a [insert random community] post pops up and I comment on it then they get shitty and say “well why did you come in here to this niche subject and post?”
I think… “If it’s delivered to me in the ‘All’ feed then it’s fair game to post in.”
If people don’t want ‘outsiders’ in their “safe space” then perhaps some communities shouldn’t have their feeds set to shout their content to the whole Fediverse.
