No Stupid Questions
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

AntennaPod is a pretty great podcast player, far better than the one Google did (and abandonned)
Newsblur is the only RSS reader that I've found that can apply filters to feeds
I've switched from Discord to Element with some friends for daily text chat and vocal chat (video games) and it's less cluttered than Discord, and the voice even sounds better
SpamBlocker is a better phone/SMS spam filter than the proprietary ones I've tried
Firefox (and forks) has been my browser for more than 20 years, I can't go back to proprietary ones
Matrix/element is good for private group chat but quickly falls apart for any public/semi public scenario where you might need automated moderation :( discord still undefeated there
I use NetNewsWire (iOS), but I might try out Newsblur. Seems pretty interesting. SpamBlocker looks like a cool alternative to Whoscall. Element is great, the only downside is getting people to adopt it. Firefox (and its forks) are awesome.
The SpamBlocker I was refering to is on Android (f-droid), I'm not sure about iOS

yeah it’s an android app. shame that apple is so restrictive on their app store policies
Well, no offense but getting away from Apple should be a great first step to fossify your digital life :)
Well just throwing away my phone us a really bad idea, don’t want to add to the e-waste. For the time being, I’ll try to use the phone until it dies before switching to a new phone.
I only used Discord with a bunch of friends I play with, no "official game servers" so it was pretty easy
The hard task will be to have some other non-gaming friends to join, because they use Whatsapp (which me and my gaming friends refuse to touch)
I use Whatsapp for all my friends since in my region EVERYONE uses whatsapp. I have one cousin who uses Signal though, so that’s something.
I just use emails with my friends who are on Whatsapp
One of them migrated from Gmail to Protonmail so maybe he could help move to a "non GAFAM" environment
