To be fair I think that’s the only one most people need to recognize so they don’t click it so it only takes the first few characters and people already know how to (look up how to) complete it.

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:

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.

No shitposting. This includes posts that start with “if this gets X upvotes…”
Posts must ask a question (or be answerable in some way).
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.
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”.
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).
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.
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.
No bots.

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