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 !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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Cut people out of your life that mistreat you. Do not make yourself miserable for some hypothetical better future.
It's okay to try things without a full plan in place. It's okay to drop things that aren't working out; but do not rush to do so.
Invest yourself fully in your efforts. It's okay if it doesn't turn into anything. Even if you don't end up with a tangible outcome, you'll learn skills, you'll learn about yourself, and you'll find clarity in the bigger picture.
Do not constantly bog yourself down by repeatedly self-assessing. It's a waste of energy and you'll end up disappointed in the outcome of whatever you're focused on.
Free yourself from fear of judgement. Look at how many morons are in positions of status and power. Criticizing you is a waste of time and energy. It's foolish when others to do it, and it's foolish to pre-emptively criticize yourself to get ahead of what others might say. (If you take any lesson here, let it be this one.)
