Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about 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.

I agree some platforms need more oversight boards and options for arbitration, in particular when the automated systems make mistakes and there's no way to fix it.
However that adds a WHOLE LOT of overheard, something that the one Lemmy community you're upset about does not have the capacity for
An unjust system is a filter that prefers stupid. I think that's fair to say. And with time the stupid only amplifies via positive feedback.
So it's a choice between stupid and chaos.
Hmm, tough choice.
So... run a better one and people will follow?
Ya I know.
Thing is, I'm an outlier. I post strange stuff. And the 99% is the opposite. So our ideas of what's comfortable may differ.
Or maybe I'm just posting to the wrong subs
