A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
Hm, fair, if it's decentralised then I guess so, but what of it when one instance is pushed a certain way, do people move to another? Or does that not matter? Trying to work that out.
Generally, yeah. People choose the moderation policies and administration they like.
You could just not subscribe to or look at any local communities. You could end up with your account deleted or something though, who knows. So sure, it's best to have your account hosted somewhere that you agree with the policies or management of the people who run the server, or their politics if you think that matters.
Personally I have preferred to change accounts frequently on reddit as I'm not trying to build up any sort of long-term identity other than my recent activity. I'd just delete my account every 1-6 months and start a new one. So to me, switching instances would make no difference. I know a lot of people like having the same account for years though, so perhaps a forthcoming system to transfer an account to a different server will help.
