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.

Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?

Lemmy puts a lot more work on the user to tailor their experience than Reddit does, and that can be a very bad experience for most people that just want to laugh at memes

You're right about this and I feel like I'm in the minority of people that are willing to spend a bit of time and effort to get something to work exactly how they want... similar to Windows/Linux

Instance admins and mods are not really any different from the ones on Reddit. They’re still not immune to power tripping, and I have had to leave some communities and an entire instance that was suffering from that.

Indeed, but the difference is the ability for a community to walk away to another instance. You see that regularly, and that's a good thing

I agree with you, but you may have replied to the wrong comment.

I did, sorry about that!

It is certainly a minority. As a side note, most people these days prefer to buy a pre-built PC for more than deal with buying parts individually and assembling it themselves for significantly less money.

I know someone that decided they wanted to try buying parts and assembling a new PC for the first time ever, and when their motherboard arrived cracked they decided to return everything and buy another pre-built instead of just RMA'ing the motherboard. Cost difference of like $800USD for a worse machine because they didn't have the patience to RMA a motherboard. Its literally so easy to assemble a computer, but because they didn't get it exactly right on the first go they have given up on it and will never do it again.

What's wrong with people? What happened?
