Ask Lemmy, Ouija Style

This is like r/AskOuija, but for lemmy; not affiliated to the r/AskOuija though.

What is this "Ouija" thing?

Ouija here is referring to the Ouija Board that used to communicate with spirits and it look something like this:

A Ouija board

To play the Ouija board to communicate with spirits, one needs to place one’s fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words letter by letter, and then finally, “goodbye”. This is the part we refer as Ouija Style.

Technically saying, there is usually also “yes” and “no”, but including them in commenting makes it less fun to comment, so usually we don’t do that here.

This is generally how Ouija Style works. Hope you have fun commenting, spirits!

RULES

this is adopted rule from r/AskOuija; but due to the difference between Reddit and Lemmy (for example, there is no flair) many things are not doable here.

  1. No shitposting. This includes posts that start with "if this gets X upvotes..."
  2. Posts must ask a question (or be answerable in some way).
  3. All comments must be a single character (including number and emoji, they too have to be single letter), except:
    • When the post title begin with [Meta].
    • Comments reminding people that they violate the rules.
  4. If you feel that the Ouija has completed its answer, you may comment with "Goodbye" to end the thread. If you want a fancy Goodbye, it would be okay, but it need to have a clear indication of it is a “goodbye”.
  5. You may add commentary as long as it's a child comment of a "goodbye" (in reply to a "goodbye", in reply to a comment that's replying to a "goodbye", etc).
  6. You may not reply directly to your own letter comment (this includes replying to your own letter with a Goodbye) but you can still reply multiple times in a thread.
  7. You may not help answer your own question. You can still reply to a Goodbye, but you cannot add letters or Goodbyes. You've done your job; let the spirits do theirs.
  8. No bots.

These rules are a work-in-progress and subject to change. Feedback is welcome.

Islamic extremists and right-wing extremists are different categories? That's generous. What this really says is that 97% of violence is right-wing.

Check the community you are in

Probably shouldn't have posted an image like that then

Edit: as someone pointed out lower it's because it's from the ADL.

Ok? This is a community where we rolepleplay being a human ouija and we write 1 letter comments, the most upvoted comment chain "wins" and is the response.

Both the original comment and you are violating rule 2.

Remember you're not right wing if you're brown.

Beth is the worst. ugh. fuck her

It took me a couple of minutes to realize that they're not trying to say that left-wing extremism is 26%. The two greys are pretty close in color, and it almost seems intentional.

Fuck the ADL.

How are you sure it was intentionally bad. It makes both appear minimized to me.

From the Apartheid Defense League? fuck those guys

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, that's why "right wing extremists" and "Muslim extremists" are separated!

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck those guys indeed.

Iirc, I think the FBI themselves said that most of terrorism in US soil is from right wing extremists.
