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
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

More often than not, they simply don't understand social cues, don't understand people and don't see the bigger picture (yes, this person is wrong now, but why does it matter? Would the correction and argument that comes with it serve anyone besides yourself and a need to 'be right'?). And then they commit social faux pas but, since they can't tell, they don't understand what happened. But people are often accommodating and will often let it slide because, well, they're not neurodivergent and understand those with Germanic-style 'tisms don't understand what they're doing.
People are far to easily pissed off, especially when being objectively wrong.

Sometimes, sometimes there are deeper things we should've taken into account (the more you know life and people and understand body language, the easier it is to recognise it) and we have, unknowingly and unnecessarily, caused them pain. ๐คท
