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.

Like say Politician A is a somewhat decent politician that's little bettor or worse then the ones before, but Politician B wants to take away the general people's rights so that corporations can get richer and richer. Corporations band together to make Politician A look like the spawn of Satan with every thing they ever did put under a microscope and blown out of proportion if not outright fabricated, while everything Politician B does is completely buried and debunked by bribed people who are claimed to be experts in their respective fields. What would that look like? Like what's an example of a claim and an example of the actual truth behind it?

This is questioning in bad faith, and is asked to push a narrative.

Even if I agree with the narrative, it doesn't belong here.

Newsflash.

It just happened.

A bunch of ignorant, gullible fools were led to believe a literal convicted felon and rapist who has openly stated he is anti-worker rights, leading a party with a long history of voting against average Americans was a better option than a successful prosecutor with a doctorate in law, leading a party with a long history of voting in favor of average Americans.

We don't need to imagine a "what if humans are stupid and easily misled" scenario. That is the reality we exist in.

Is this an opinion with a question mark glued onto it?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

You already know the answer.

Have you ever heard about USA elections? Because it just happened there, no need to imagine things.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I mean... Just look at the news. We don't have to imagine it because that is what is going on.

Any broadcast by a Rupert Murdoch 'news' program.
