    Yes. Although on AskReddit, this question would’ve been removed by the automod because it’s technically a yes or no question.

      everything to the left of monarchism = Marxism, apparently

      though I’ll agree with you that the rabid anticommunism on .world will definitely help Redditors feel at home

    Yea - the thing is that it’s called “AskLemmy” when really the whole Fediverse can access the community. I feel like it would’ve been better suited to call it “AskFedi” or something else. In general it doesn’t really make sense to use the software as the name for stuff.

    People here say “lemmy” way too much when they really should consider the Fediverse as a whole.

    EDIT: Curious why people are down voting, anyone care to explain their perspective on this?

      I will always call this type of discussion forum “reddit”. This format, with upvotes, downvotes, nested replies, and collapsible descendants, is reddit

    In theory yes, although the moderation is pretty lacking. So people use it as tech support, ideological rants, yes/no questions, support with actually using Lemmy, DAE, and all other manner of stuff that theoretically doesn’t fit on here, and which is often low effort and doesn’t prompt much discussion.

      At least we don’t get the hourly “What’s the sexest sex you’ve ever sexed” question from someone who’s horny on the internet for their first time.

        “Does anyone else… (have trouble finishing video games/use their toenail clippings to add texture to a pot of chili/etc.)?”

          Just to add, on Reddit it was segregated away from askreddit pretty early on in the site’s life because it was realized that there’s not much useful discussion that can come off a question structured in that way. Better to ask something like “do you do X? Why or why not”. DAE is mostly just people seeking approval.

      Good, let’s keep it that way. Lack of freedom of speech is what has made that 3rd Reich of Reddit impossible to use.
