Removing this per rule #2 - it is indeed sexist and encourages stereotypes. Feel free to rephrase and ask again.
For those who shared your thoughts and called out why this was problematic, thank you. I'm not always sure how to best handle something like this and your input helps.
People are helpful here so posts don't usually get ignored. With that said, each community should have the space to be what it wants to be. These comments are a clear signal that we want to go with open discussion questions.
Thanks for the input, all. We have a number of tips for finding communities and support in the sidebar. I'll remove these kinds of posts from now on so that we can focus on discussing interesting, open questions.
That's indeed a wonderful thing about open source software. It doesn't necessarily solve this person's question, though.
I wouldn't call it an exact equivalent - we can make it what we want. I also didn't frequent askreddit so don't have a clear example.
I prefer not to see them because people can use the search tools to find communities and instances.
I'm on the fence about this kind of question - it's not open so it breaks rule #1. However, I got pushback last time I removed something similar. What's your preference on this kind of post?
Tags don't exist in Lemmy, so it's not something we can add to the community. How about adding [joke] or [non-serious answers only]?
This is a question that is lower quality and won't lead to a good discussion. Removing under rule #1.
Awesome, thank you!
Please check the sidebar for a list of communities where you can find support. Removing per rule #3.
Please stop discussing upvotes and downvotes. Your last three comments have included references and it's repetitive. If it bothers you, why not join an instance that doesn't use downvotes?
