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.

I've seen one or two posts that had communist Nazi vibes. I just blocked the users posting them and haven't had a problem since.
The big name instances that generate these boogyman claims are blocked on Lemmy World. They're not blocked on my instance, but they also aren't really any different than any other posts from any other instances. The most cited reason isn't the content they post, but the fact the creator of the instance (in this case I am referring to Lemmygrad) is a tankie. Well they don't seem to post a helluva lot for it to matter, and the average users there aren't crazy assholes in my experience.
The Hexbear stuff, on the other hand... Every single user I've seen from that instance behaved like a 4chan troll or T_D user.
Yes, mostly hexbear users and ~~instances~~ communities . I've blocked all of them.
