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

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.

Nobody understands the term "Devils Advocate" on lemmy. It's just "TROLL". I can't possibly discuss a viewpoint online, that I don't personally believe without instantly being labeled a troll.
I don't brain like most people brain. I like to explore and discover the aspect of things which made us land on those decisions or opinions. Turns out, most people don't like that.
It's fine to argue devil's advocate, but you should clearly mark it as such so people don't think it's your true opinion - tone is hard enough as it is to get through text, never mind outright devil's advocacy.
Devil's Advocate = Russian Nazi Capitalist Shrill in Filipino Putin propaganda farm.
See, this guy gets it.
"Why are you advocating for the devil? He has enough advocates!" /s
I certainly do like that! Is there anything you want to have a discussion about? Feel free to reply to this comment if you do...
