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.

No. No one is actually harmed.
Definition of immoral is
Not conforming to accepted standards of morality
Definition of morality
Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior
My question for you is : what does any of that have to do with someone being harmed?
Because do no harm is a basic tenet of right vs. wrong.
I value my conversations. And when they are taken from me I am robbed. That is a form of harm.
You do not feel similarly?
But they're not taken from you - they still happened.
No actual harm has happened. Nothing changes the fact that you had a conversation. You are no poorer for it being hidden.
I know it's said a lot, but if you don't want to play by someone else's rules, you can set up your own instance. Every single thing on here is the result of someone just setting up their own instance. Honestly, it's never been easier than it is now.
Maybe I am being obtuse - but I really don't see what it is you think you've had taken from you.
The conversation, the exchange of information, is intangible and transient by its very nature. You don't own the conversation. There's nothing about it to own.
If you think there's some obligation on the part of the moderator to preserve the transcripts of conversations that you've taken part in, even against their own better judgement, then I'm sorry but I don't see it.
But anyway, like I said - if you set up your own instance, you can keep those threads open for as long as you like.
Their performance
I can see why your conversations get removed.
Is there a client or program that can continually scan and backup your account, so at least you have a copy?
Only way would be to run your own instance, AFAIK. Sync will keep removed comments, but not entire removed posts
That would be thin solace. Like getting your dead cat taxidermized.
