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

"Too much off topic discussion or discussion in one topic that stifles other conversations"
Better?
What conversations, specifically, are being stifled or overlooked due to US politics? The comm isn't very active.
Any meme community. Easy example. Are you even trying?
Lol, okay, very specific. I'm also talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.
Name a single election topic you know about that's not US. I'll wait.
Why? I'm Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It's pretty contentious and fucked up. It's not like I'm an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.
