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
The stick post was the most upvoted post in the past 7 days.
That doesn’t make it good.
It doesn't make it bad either.
Yes, it actually does. Unless you think upvotes are somehow independent of content's value?
You honestly believe that upvotes mean something is good? Or do you think that maybe it just means that it’s popular?
Having settled that-
Popular ≠ good.
Doesn't mean it fit in this community. Yeah it was probably fine to let one of those threads go by,, but the second was too much.
I honestly didn't think they fit and I checked the rules to see what was going on because I assumed this was a community similar to askreddit.
Well, it was way more interesting than the usual stuff here. So much about "thought provoking".
"How do you rate a stick?" is a pretty interesting question, and it as asked implicitly by that post. I'm in favor of posts like that
Why was it so much upvoted ?
What does it say about the average ~~let me use her~~ Lemmy user ?
is there a disconnect between users and moderators ?
Perhaps it's a critique on the quality of the rest of the posts.
Or, the most straightforward option, it's an indication the community liked the post
More like a disconnect between the moderators and reality.
I believe no sexual thoughts went into that, as can be seen by the replies.
