Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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.

The users who downvoted you were iconoclast@feddit.uk and FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world. I'm sure it would make their respective day(s) if you asked them.
I've given up trying to make heads or tails of downvoters' behavior. I am convinced that some people here either think there is some "algorithm" that will magically stop showing them some type of content if they downvote it (I can't imagine I've pissed in that many people's cornflakes, so that's my theory anyhow) and others who don't quite understand that there's no such thing here as reddit style karma.
I dunno. It is what it is. I think fewer people realize than they should that votes are publicly accessible on Lemmy, though.
(Don't look at me. I haven't downvoted anyone in four months.)
Yeah, there’s enough content on Lemmy to see everything in a half hour and then get on with the day. I like that.
The algorithm is set to “here’s everything except what you blocked.”
