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.
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

People.
"People. What a bunch of bastards." -- The IT Crowd?
People suck. But some people are pretty damned awesome. And we evolved from solitary animals to tribes because interdependence and complementary roles promote better success to the group members than going alone. We need people.
So the goal is, be open to discovering people who don't suck right now. As long as they don't suck, bring them along with you or let them bring you along as long as you don't suck right now. Some day that's going to end, and one of you will ditch the other; and that's okay. That means you also should be worthy of group membership. Don't suck. Be adequate and friendly enough so you don't get kicked out of the cave for being a dick.
We're all just refugees hiding in a cave from the shit out there, so find a survival group and thrive.
