Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The forum Something Awful has had public ban notices for age, with a page listing banned or suspended users, the post they were banned for and usually a snarky joke from one of the mods. It actually ends up creating a fun atmosphere where people can get essentially "Go touch grass" moments that everyone can giggle about when it's not that bad and it's always hilarious watching some cesspit of a human being get absolutely fucking dumpstered in very public fashion.
That said, I don't think it would work nearly as well without their registration fee creating a barrier to entry.
Ew... a registration fee lol.
Hey, they've been running successfully since 1999. Hard to knock that sort of longevity and relevance since they're still getting mentioned here 23 years later.
