Ask Lemmy
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 !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I never tried to block anyone because I have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to strangers on the internet. Well, except that guy that replaced all his "th"s with "þ". That was annoying and if he didn't give up on it, get banned, or otherwise disappear I might have learned how to block someone.
Honestly that dude and the person super into dragon sex are actually the best trolls I've met. 100% harmless and it's wild how many people DON'T just hit the block button when they find them annoying. They're like a built in litmus test for whether a Lemmy user is a fully developed adult who can avoid getting entangled in dumb conversations (which apparently you are).
I do recall blocking the thorn guy from my previous account. So that's a downside to establishing a new Lemmy account. All the users I'd blocked are now roaming freely in my feed again.
