Ask Lemmy, Ouija Style

Ask Lemmy, Ouija Style

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

What is this โ€œOuijaโ€ thing?

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

To play the Ouija board to communicate with spirits, one needs to place oneโ€™s fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words letter by letter, and then finally, โ€œgoodbyeโ€. This is the part we refer as Ouija Style.

Technically saying, there is usually also โ€œyesโ€ and โ€œnoโ€, but including them in commenting makes it less fun to comment, so usually we donโ€™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 โ€œif this gets X upvotesโ€ฆโ€
  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 โ€œGoodbyeโ€ 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 โ€œgoodbyeโ€.
  5. You may add commentary as long as itโ€™s a child comment of a โ€œgoodbyeโ€ (in reply to a โ€œgoodbyeโ€, in reply to a comment thatโ€™s replying to a โ€œgoodbyeโ€, 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. Youโ€™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.
