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.

I believe they do, yes. It's done to out anti-trans people, making them easy to spot as they complain loudly about being forced to.

I mean, it's unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn't sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just look at someone's comment history to see if they're strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.
Unverifiable maybe, unenforceable, no. They simply ban anyone who refuses.
What if I just lie?
The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that's the theory.
I just default to gender neutral terms if context clues don't suggest a specific one.
Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.
And how do the mods find the transphobes to ban them? They'll have to wait for an argument to happen and someone to complain about it. Waste of everyone's time. This way transphobes will get triggered when they try to sign up, throw a tantrum, and get banned. That's the plan; I have no idea whether it works in practice.
Yes, that's how moderation works.
I don't think as many transphobes have a problem with identifying as their birth gender as you think. Also does nothing you stop the bad actors and concern trolling. Might as well have "Black Gay Man" as an option.
Fair. I don't know how well it works on that instance. I see it as schmuk bait - someone who throws a tantrum over it is not someone you want to let in.
what if I honestly dgaf and prefer that people call me whatever they want?
"Any" is probably fine. It tends to be my choice. That said, you're better off just not using Hexbear. Ya know, unless you're chill with things like genocide.
It's pretty common for hb users to have "any/all" or "none/username". It's not a hindrance.
Then you put that I guess.
they/them I guess.
Until some random doxes people.
You'd think, after seeing bitching posts about privacy one after the other folks would be concerned.
Suddenly I like a hexbear policy!
Steps 2 and 3 involve denying several genocides and then calling for genocides based on skin color and global locality.
Are many of them from a single country?
I'm kinda amazed they're so unanimous in some of their political opinions.
You'd think that would make one question wether their beliefs truly are their own, or rather - our beliefs
Going by spelling and phrase choices, I'd say the majority of them are youngish Americans who're still naive enough to believe extreme left-wing/anarcho political systems aren't just as controlling of the populace as the political systems they despise. Either that or they crave big state control systems because the feel a lack of control in their own lives and want a political daddy to make the decisions for them.
I'm not convinced they're even human if I'm being completely honest. Learning language models aren't new in the propagandasphere.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I guess.
