Ask Lemmy
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
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

That’s not canceling that’s just called harassment and you could have (and probably should have) pursed legal action. Cancelling would be if they never went there again and blasted your place of business all over their social media saying nobody should go there because they are “insert random mask slur”
“ In pop culture, canceled means to make someone or something irrelevant due to current drama”
When people say they are canceling target because target did something to offend someone (I don’t even remember what it was anymore) they mean they are going to refuse to go there and are going to tell other people they shouldn’t go there it doesn’t mean they are going to @ employees and their families and harass them
When people say they are canceling Kanye they mean they are going to refuse to his listen to his music and buy his stuff maybe even go a step further and refuse to do business with any place that does business with Kanye, it doesn’t mean looking up the security guards working for Kanye and their family members and sending them hate speech that’s back to harassment
Canceling can lead to harassment but they are not the same and you can cancel someone without harassing them and especially without harassing individual employees and their families
