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.

"You clearly care way too much about this topic." – implies that one's level of concern or interest in a particular topic or situation is excessive and thus invalidates any further conversation or exploration[2]
"There are worse things in life to worry about." – implies that less significant issues are not worth addressing since they are not as significant as other issues and implies that a person's situation is not significant enough to even warrant discussion or action[11]
"It's all good." – nullifies, without evidence, any possible debate by asserting the issue is already settled.[12][user-generated source?]
"Here we go again." – implies that the redundant, cyclical nature of a given disagreement means it will never be resolved.[13]
"So what? What effect does my action have?" – used to dismiss an individual's involvement in a larger cause on the grounds that one person is too insignificant to ever have a meaningful impact.[2]
"Let's agree to disagree." – used to stop discussion of an issue rather than attempt to resolve it;[14] may, however, instantiate a dialectic.
"It is what it is." – implies that things are unchangeable, therefore there is no point in further discussion.[15]
"Let people enjoy things." – purports that criticisms to consumable media are attempts to prevent consumers from enjoying said media.[
