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.

I was alone at home in France, working on my second year exam in History of Architecture, because I failed it in July.
My best friend was in Turkey at the time and I was worried the event could trigger a World scaled retaliation against Muslims countries so I called my best friend parents to check if he was okay.
My dumbass didn’t know Turkey was a (very) laic country back then. Nor any knowledge about Muslim culture really.
I had another friend in New York too at this time, but I couldn’t reach him, neither his parents who just moved from their house, so I had to wait a whole week to hear about him.
I can still visualize the room, the colors, the furnitures.
