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.


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.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?

Too many ...

Mostly educational channels. I have to go and sort some out again ... I'm above $100 per month ...

Defunctland and Technology Connectios. I just really want those dudes to keep making stuff. A 2 hour documentary on the history and merits of the FastPass system at Disneyland or how a dishwasher works is soooooo my cup of tea.

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

+1 for Technology Connections <3

[–] Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not many. I had to stop myself or else my list would look like remon's.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

+1000 for Bobby Fingers. Clearly you have good taste.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Civvie has some great stuff if you're into arena/arcade style shooters. His Blood review is classic

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I love Bobby Fingers!

I really hate monthly subscriptions. The only two I could justify are my $5/m VPN and 3/m discord just bc I used it so much.
Recently I changed discord to $1 to Wikipedia, $1 to archive.org, $1 to Lemmy. It's not a lot but gives me peace of mind.

[–] kiy@lmy.sagf.io 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Surprises me that people pay for discord. Were there features you used that were (worth) paid?

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zero. I hate subscriptions. Idc what it's for.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I personally think that's valid. Do you ever make one-time donations?

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can't stop binging it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ContraPoints, she only charges on months she produces content- it's not even every month if she isn't productive. Her Tangent videos are worth it.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I'm not in the headspace for it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

fair, but her tangents are more varied in topic she has videos on psychedelics, spirituality, the Barbie movie, etc.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh, I would like to see that.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's only $2 to get access to all the Tangents, well worth it

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

then I would pay the $2 once to get access, then just grab all the links (they're just private youtube videos) of the tangent videos, and then unsubscribe 🤷‍♀️ not the most ethical, but ... it's still technically feasible

Paralives! Because fuck EA for ruining The Sims (among many other games), it's time for a good competitor. Plus, they're from my city!

[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I tend to avoid subscriptions where I can, so the only time I've ever used Patreon was to access Dankpods' After Show (back when it was exclusive for patrons).

I really should give myself $200 or so to dole out between my favourite creators and open-source projects.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Currently just Jeff Gerstmann, my favorite video games journalist

I support Extra Fabulous Comics and a comic called "The Lost Never Die."

Extra Fabulous never ceases to make me laugh, and The Lost Never Die is a newer comic with an art style that I love.

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd throw some money at the 'free' ones if I could afford to.

[–] decended_being@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly none. I don'y have thr expendable income to do that.

If I had, it couled easilly be 50+ youtubers, podcasters open source software devs, ...

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Here's my list, it's fairly random:

lol if someone wants to explain why they downvoted that'd be nice too. lmao.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

None, but will probably get a lifetime memmbership on Nebula....

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

Some of the people I was supporting disappeared. Now it's just a couple creators who are still too small to get algo love. Phedran is great, and if you are into chill gaming, you should check out her streams.

Right now its just Second Thought, I'm a leftist and love the content he creates. His video on East Palistine is really good and I would recommend it
