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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Is just the same as lemmy? What makes it different? Is it similar to kbin? Why is it meant to be better according so some people?

Same here, so I'd assume so.

Gotcha. That's a non-starter for me then. I hope I'm not the intended audience for piefed. I never visit Facebook pages for the same reason.

I could be entirely wrong, but that's what it looks like, yeah.
Absolutely hate registration walls as well.

"I just want to see what's there"

"Make an account first."

"Is it worth making an account?"

"Make an account and find out" "Oh you must provide a valid email to verify" "Surprise fucker its spam forever"

You could check out another instance, for example https://feddit.online/ , which is visible without signing in.

Piefed.social used to be open for all, but I suspect it needed to be restricted due to AI scrapers. Not sure exactly what the reasoning is though.

You can find a list of instances here: https://fedidb.com/software/piefed

Seems to be 100% Lemmy content

There's no real difference, content flows freely between the two platforms.

I'm writing this in piefed - does it make my comment "piefed content", while your comment is "Lemmy content"?

The distinction makes no sense. And that's the point - use whatever platform you prefer, enjoy the same content anywhere you go. There is no "piefed content" or "lemmy content", only content. :)

I suppose its good that there is a fediverse alternative to Lemmy. We've seen some things to be concerned about from the authors of Lemmy. Should Lemmy go too far, there's an active alternative in place to take over.
