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

eLiTeh4x0r@email.com is frustrating to attempt to spell out to the clerk at the other side of the counter.
And just try reading it over the phone to someone, especially a non-native-english speaker.
My personal email is first initial with last name, which I can simply tell them without having to try to spell anything out.
I have a state job tho, and there it's first initial and middle initial and last name, why the hell... now I can't email a colleague without looking at a sheet to find their middle initial. Stupid.
E like easter, L like love, I like Iron, T like toast, E like Easter again, H like Hood, 4, X like X, 0 and R like Ring @ email.com.
And you have to memorize it! Cause giving it daily its gonna be nuts.
