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.

Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands.

Throughout the years, the NSFL tag went out of use. What happened?

I really want a NSFL tag. I very much do not want to see gore. There are other buckets of things that I’d like to be tagged for ease of filtering. Yiff and Furry art. I fully support those that do want to enjoy that content, I’d just like to be able to filter easier.

Please make it configurable content warnings. I also want to filter fake news, things that aren't porn but maybe not suited for minors either, and stuff that triggers people's phobias or bad memories. And probably a few other categories.

And user-configurable policies like the Message Rewrite Facility from Pleroma.

I use it frequently in the Ukraine community on the Sopuli.xyz instance.

Anything that could actually use the NSFL tag is probably illegal to have on a website. There's a reason why best gore and live leak don't exist anymore. Hosting that kind of content is going to cause a lot of legal issues. I'm guessing no sites want to encourage that kind of content by offering a specific tag for it

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

This is just bullshit. Not everything NSFL is illegal. Before I quit reddit, the only reason my r/all wasn't having medical gore constantly pop up was because I individually blocked all of those subreddits as they appeared. If the NSFL tag was a site-wide tag option like NSFW is, I wouldn't have had to do all that effort.

lol it is not illegal.

what law is it breaking?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

There are more countries than the US. Canada has obscenity laws for example. I'm sure other countries also have laws about ISIS beheadings and mass shootings being shared online.

Liveleak doesn't exist? Wow that's news to me.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I know that's not what you meant but liveleak actually did shutdown a couple years ago.

[–] Pika@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering a lot of gore content is illegal in places such as the US, it's possible they the tag doesn't exist anymore on most places to avoid promoting the content.

[–] jayrhacker@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

gore content is illegal in places such as the US

LOL WUT? 1st amendment has entered the chat…
