No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.

if I remember correctly they were:

  • smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
  • someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going "but you are from .world") (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the "puching nazis" theme)
  • one more which I can't remember.

Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

Drag has no idea what you're talking about, does not support China, and would prefer lowercase pronouns, please.

If drag does not support China, drag is probably not a tankie. If drag calls drag communist and consider Russia and North Korea communist-led countries, drag is wrong, however. A charitable description of those countries would be "socialist" by Marx's definition.

Russia is capitalist, mate. The Berlin Wall fell. Drag doesn't know why you think drag might be a tankie. Drag's an anarchist. And you replied to a comment about milk.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's okay, Drag. Some people just need to learn to let go.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ohhh, drag just went back and read the thread. This is a China thread. Drag forgot. Drag just has strong opinions on milk, drag didn't mean to imply anything about economics. Vegan milk is a more important political issue in drag's opinion than whatever humans are up to.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Understandable. I hope drag has a good day and glass of ethical milk.

Drag cares for the plight of the Uyghurs. But drag is not Chinese and drag can't do much to affect things in China other than campaigning to send drag's country to war. Drag doesn't like war. There are 10 times as many enslaved cows as there are Uyghurs in China. Drag thinks if you care about slavery, start with the cows. Especially if you're not Chinese and don't have much way to free the Uyghur slaves. If drag was Chinese, drag would be trying to free the Uyghurs and the cows. But in drag's country, the most drag can do for Uyghurs is say that what is being done to them is wrong. Drag can tell people that normal milk is vegan milk and drinking breast milk is for perverts, and drag thinks that will have a bigger effect on reducing slavery.
