A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion

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 [email protected] or [email protected]. 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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

True! But at least we are also getting content on ask Lemmy!

Yeah I like it. It reminds me of how Ask Reddit used to be.

Ever since Ask Reddit removed the body section of posts, just leaving people with the title section to work with, I feel like it's mostly been generic dull questions where everyone says basically the same thing and doesn't elaborate.

Prime examples:

Q: Men what is something we can all agree on?

A: We've all fantasized about being the hero in some daydream scenario.

and

Q: What is the most basic thing you are terrible at?

A: Holding a conversation.

I'd rather hear about someone's struggles to install Arch Linux

Q: What cliche is true about you?
A: I use arch, btw
