Ask Lemmy
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 [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.

Probably would have if I didn't completely cut my parents off decades ago because of their David Duke supporting religious ways. They didn't support me being gay anyways, so I had no reason to have them be a part of my life.
And my grandmother, the only one I still keep in contact with and visit, is fully pro-science (even if such things don't involve her life much at her age) and she got all of the vaccinations and boosters during the pandemic. She stayed perfectly healthy and never caught it as far as we know, unless she was asymptomatic, and it's been quite an achievement at her mid-80's age.
As for my friends, I've only ever surrounded myself with pro-science and supportive people. Why would I associate with anyone not like that? Certainly not going to associate with conservatives that hate that I, as an LGBT person, exist in the first place.
