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.

I've met my fair share of cockwombles in my time - the public-facing element of some of my jobs and roles have guaranteed that - but I've never met anyone truly evil.
I've met a dude who was more than pleasant, respectable background, good laugh... who later turned out to be peddling kiddie porn, and got caught a second time after being released from prison so yeah fuck that guy.
I've met the one of the nicest guys in the world - fit guy for his age in his late fifties, had a way of connecting with you in the first five minutes and leaving every conversation feel positive, and generally an all round cracking fella... only to get hit with cancer before he was 60. So no, I guess he absolutely did not deserve that.
Unfortunately, there's more instances of people getting away with real shitty behaviour than there is of satisfying instances of karma biting them in the arse.
