Some people here take themselves way too seriously. Not every conversation needs to be an argument.

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.

MODERATORS
Well, I completely disagree! Taking things seriously is the only way to have meaningful conversations. If we don’t challenge each other’s views, how will we ever grow and learn? We need the "battleground of ideas"!
/s
Okay, now explain to me which is the best Star Trek captain and why anyone who disagrees needs to die by cheesegrater in a three-day ordeal.
🙂
What I like: flexibility for clients,nice people,etc.
What I dislike: not every community is here and some of the communism here as well as finding a instance you want is not the easiest
The assholes who pretend to argue in good faith but just spout stupid bullshit.
Oh, and the idiots who block everyone they don't like.

I think it’s the best at what it does. That problem space doesn’t have a lot of good options.
needs more porn
Lemmynsfw does pretty well. It’s a shame that the main instances don’t federate with the porn instances, but it does nicely prevent either from overwhelming the other.
lemmy.world federated with lemmynsfw. I have blocked probably 50 communities from there already because I don't want that but if you want it, make a .world account

The mods: self-important, dense, and often pushing their own agendas.

Like: pretty much everything
Dislike: wish there was more activity in the D&D comms
I've got no problem with the communists. I like having a part of the internet that isn't completely commoditised and filled with ads and people trying to sell side hustles. I hate the search function.
like: people are nicer here!! it also still has the old forum/chatroom vibe, and if the admins suck on an instance you can just. join another. and still subscribe to communities from the old instance. modlog is also pretty cool, allows for transparency between mods and users. i also cant doomscroll because like the other person said, there's an 'end' to it.
as well as editable titles lmfao
dislike: niche communities are hard to find, and the ones that do exist are usually empty. also some of instances' ui/css is extremely fugly and i physically cannot use it (why i left the fediverse before) (also the nice css was one of my reasons for joining dbzer0). also the tankies, but at least they're contained within hexbear, .ml and lemmygrad.
The interface. I actually have a lemmy alt and I just hate utilizing it due to the web interface. Its the main reason I did kbin and non mbin to begin with. I did quick accounts on each and liked the bins better naviagation and config wise.
What I like: The effort and persistence of the developers
What I dislike: The ActivityPub protocol.
The thing I dislike the most is that my bot got banned. I made a bot to post carefully categorized articles into their proper communities, but it was banned without warning or explanation. All the communities I was modding dried up shortly thereafter because I didn't manually post in them instead.
What? and that stupid brainwashing bot that comments in every news post is still around? Fuck 'em.
Im pretty sure most people including mods don't want to see a bunch of soul-less bot postings. That is straight up community manipulation. Please don't use bots, use your human mind to interact.
I've been impressed with the number of people who understand this pretty esoteric and fundamentally game-changing bit of technical voting system knowledge:

About first past the post and third parties for those who aren't going to watch. But do watch! Required viewing for everybody!
