Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Without a legal mailing-address, you will be blocked from participating in much of the online-economy.
"no shipping address?" XOR "we won't ever ship to rural people, P.O. boxes, or any other non-CITY bullshit."
There's a book which discusses this, named "The Addres Book", by Deirdre Mask.
Some jurisdictions may require you to be treated as a valid citizen, even with a P.O. box "address", but I don't know of any jurisdiction that does that.
No address?
Your life will be stomped, & from what I've seen, you get deemed a vagrant/homeless by enforcement, too.
In the US you can get around this by renting a PO Box and using the post office street address + your box number as the "Unit" number. There's a form you have to sign to give them permission to handle third party packages for you but I don't think it costs anything extra.
You can kind of get around this in my country by putting in a long term mail redirection at the post office. You can just keep updating your drivers licence and other paperwork at the old address. Its only a matter of time till it gets found out but it will probably work for a fairly long time.
