A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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.

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.

Zero

I just block .ml

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Not banned, but I left all of .ml after they randomly deleted one of my comments that said "imperialism is bad no matter who is doing it (Russia, China or the US)". Appearently you are not allowed to criticize Russia over there. So I decided I don't want to have anything to do with the .ml community.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago

Russia and China

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

None. I don't really understand who's going around getting banned? Kids?

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Apparently so... I've been banned from about 20... But mostly because I suffered from 2 instances bans.

[–] RedditIsALostCause@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn, tf did you do? I’m only banned from .ml bc when O first joined Lemmy, I selected them as my instance not knowing any better. Then I did what any sane person would do and told tankies they were insane and a curse upon the workd. The Davel, a mod there, got butthurt as hell and here I am.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

Well dubvee instance banned me for no reason, (I never interacted) and apparently I'm an "unhinged troll"

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

My main account got banned from something like 8 because one admin person went nuts. I went through my log and was like, WTF, I never even commented there.

I got two temporary bans from people that had no credible logic skills or objective thinking. One of those was a Lemmy dev. And that is why I'm on piefed now.

There are some crazies, but I think we all need to normalize just being nice digital neighbors. Life is too short and negative. If you don't like something, just ignore it. Don't engage or escalate or down vote. None of us are that important, and being negative makes things worse for all, including, if not especially yourself.

[–] RedditIsALostCause@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Was the Lemmy dev DaveL or Davel or something?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

To my knowledge none. If I have been, it's obviously nothing I miss. Don't think I've ever had a mod action. Despite saying some borderline shit in moments of distress. I try to police myself when I can.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Two, “not so nice” and “aggression” were the reasons! Don’t know where THAT comes from. Banana weirdos.

[–] kbal@fedia.io 2 points 10 months ago

One! That I know of, anyway. I criticized something that was apparently beloved of the cranky young man who runs it like it's his own personal chat room. No regrets.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Not sure, I'm sure I've gotten blocked by a lot of people though. Alcohol is a hell of a drug

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have an instance ban from dubvee.org for something arather a year ago.

Also from !SaharaSahel but I don't think that exists anymore.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

I was also banned from dubvee, without ever interacting... I still wonder why

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

On lemmy? None. On reddit? One, but it was a misunderstanding and I was able to appeal it. On the Old Internet? Also none.

It's not that hard to just... read the rules, y'know?

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

So many will be general asshats or creeps online then complain when they are no longer welcome.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

None. I never, ever got banned on every single online forum I used.

The only service I got banned from is Aliexpress for having refused to provide my phone number on a page fully in simplified chinese to "prove I am not a robot".
