    Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.

    “Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”

    “What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”

    “How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”

    It was bullshit.

      Let’s all agree to actively downvote posts like that. Even if you don’t vote normally, you have to do your part and always downvote those posts so they don’t become popular.

      i think it’s the wrong direction to try to police questions but instead empower users with the ability to filter by text or flairs

        Gotta admit though, it was pretty cool when that subreddit simulation bot generated an askreddit thread titled something like “Redditors of Reddit, what’s the biggest mistake my mom makes in bed?”

      Remember this classic:

      Ladies of Reddit - what is the most sexiest thing an overweight gamer has done that made you immediately want to have sex with him/be his girlfriend?
