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.

It's ok to fundamentally disagree with someone and still be civil and polite when speaking with them.
It's ok not to win a discussion, just participate until it doesn't bring you joy, then stop.
Lemmy, and the fediverse, is stronger with diverse people, opinions, communities - even if you disagree with them. Even normies of mainstream political parties you disagree with.
Downvotes are not a disagree button. Lemmy is not training a personal algorithm to provide a echo chamber, downvotes should mean content is harmful to the community its in.
Depends on whar you disagree about. Economic policy, art, media, normal politics ? Sure.
But if the fundamental disagreement is whether certain groups of people deserve basic human rights, then no. Fuck them and everything they stand for, I fucking refuse to be polite or cordial towards people who fundamentally think my girlfriend doesn't deserve the right to exist just because of her innate identity.
Again, depends on what opinions they are disagreeing on
Yes they are, that's the literal fucking point of upvotes and downvotes, to signal whether you like or dislike something, the appropriate tool to deal with actual harmful content is reporting and blocking.
quite a few people on here disagree about whether or not billionaires should have human rights and don't get any pushback at all, There is no difference between hating billionaires and hating any other wealth defined category of people.
Billionaires choose to be billionaires. Poor people don't choose to be poor.
