A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.

Even though i used different words, i believe i said pretty much the same thing in the part of my post you're not quoting. Or perhaps we've been taught different kinds of English. Might explain the lack of understanding around here.
Ah, my mistake. I wrote communities, you wrote instances. Yes, the difference is immesureable. My apologies.
I don't think we were talking about the same thing. You're talking about restricting your behaviour, "focus on your niche", "stay away from propaganda media". My proposal was to use an instance which makes it unecessary for you to restrict yourself to certain areas, if their moderation policy aligns with your default behaviour.
Of course it ultimately comes down to similar things, since instances which do not care wether you're nice aren't allowed in all places which require you to be nice. The key difference is still that you don't have to be wary yourself. It sounded as if you would not like that.
Yes, we might be talking in parallel. It's true i might be on the wrong side of the fence since i expect that even the hateful deserve their chance to speak, at least until they become irremediable. And i do disagree with this safe space isolative behaviour. Perhaps you are correct and i should instead visit those, and i'm paraphrasing, 'bigotry-infested phobic hellholes' for a while and see what's what.
Thank you.
