A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

All of them.
For a long time I followed my favorite NFL team. Eventually I just could not stomach how problematic it all was so I stopped. My favorite coach retired soon after. I used to spend hours on both their subreddit and a separate fansite arguing with people, looking up stats, listening to my favorite podcast by a former player.
Before that it was baseball. I spent a few years following our town's team, keeping an eye on all the minor league teams and how prospects were doing, evaluating the results of trades years after they happened. Eventually I realized that it was purely a pay-to-win league, and my town's team was never going to pay enough to win.
For a few years it was League of Legends. A friend of mine installed it on my computer when i hosted a Halloween party in 2013 and got drunk. I spent the next 3 years playing with him and other people, and playing fantasy LoL, watching all the professional matches of the biggest leagues in the world.
I spent a few years diving into cheap Chinese gaming handhelds. Then I got my Steam Deck in 2023and stopped. I've realized now from seeing new devices in my feed that I've been so out of the loop in that community that I have no idea what is going on.
I waa recently diagnosed with autism, suffered sone pretty severe burnout the past couple years. I think part of that was from just... No longer having any sort of special interest. Still trying to figure that out.
