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.

A lot of the time they also have a podcast, instagram, and/or live stream to Twitch, often to the same audience. So "content" is the catch-all for all the output together.
It's a bit clunky but for whatever reason it's the term which has stuck around.
I still hate it.
We already had a generic catch all word for creating in all of those mediums, and it’s called “media,” so it didn’t even necessary to label it content.
What if we started calling these people Independent Media Producers or IMPs for… oh wait no.
Imperial Military Personnel.
add a G word in front and were cooking
Well, they could be considered Global, Independent… or perhaps Generally Independent… and so on.
