!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:
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.

For mods: I hope it's okay, if not feel free to remove it, but as a lot of people were commenting on the other thread while the reason of the change had been given in the top comment, I thought it was worth it to make a dedicated post.
this place still feels much emptier than reddit :(
That's a good thing. Less argumentative assholes and memelords rehashing the same tired old crap.
*Fewer argumentative assholes.
:)
I just got fairly downvoted and made fun of on a post of mine asking about jobs where they dont have a dress code- and someone called me a fucking anime girl or some shit. I guess it was from the Text emojis I was using- but like damn that was my second post here on this site😒
That checks out ig
To be fair I've seen the comment, it wasn't really welcoming.
People complain we're only so many people here, but when I see this kind of interactions it definitely doesn't help
Yup, too many hostile group in here it easily drown up the good one. It's especially harsh when people decided to post and all they get is downvote for no reason.
Why would it matter though? It's not the worst offender and have nothing to do with what they asked.
It was my reddit username and I love that name so damn much cus it was funny- now reddit wont fuckin give me my account back and im still pissed off about it ;-;
Paraphrased, "I don't wanna bed rot at home for my job." "Yikes, what a main character."
Lmao hope they were making a poor joke
There always has to be at least one asshole, but that is everywhere you go on the internet. Just downvote, block if you want and move on.
Sorry to hear 😔
Yeah some people here can be dicks. I’ve needed to block a couple people, and join an instance with disabled downvotes, and now it’s a lot better.
IDK about that. Honestly it seems like a lot of the assholes just went here.
Good news is that here they stand a much better chance of being moderated by competent admins, whereas Reddit admins moderate to save face of their website, not because they actually care about the rules or people getting hurt. Most of the assholes I knew of at the beginning of joining Lemmy aren't here anymore, they were banned, either on their home servers or by a good amount of the others.
