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.

Because basic human decency isn't dead yet?

All the major lemmy instances are heavily lgbtq friendly, and a big part of lemmy's userbase is pro lgbtq

Interestingly, the more independent, self-sufficent, and inclusive sort of people that oppose major corporate ownership and control tend to be liberal in nature.

Hate content is against the rules of the instance you're using, so you're also getting reported. Don't use other people's things if you're not going to respect them.

because it has been discovered that some recently energized section of the population would like, at the VERY LEAST, for lgbtq people to be legislated out-of-visibility in our society.

they have very similar ideas about all kinds of people, based partly on who they believe IS and IS NOT "their kind" , and based partly on dubiously translated words from a 2000+ year old haphazard collection of middle-eastern writings which they believe should ultimately dictate the lives of modern americans.

you were downvoted so aggressively because either.. 1- you know this and just want to kick the hornets nest or 2-you are one of those people and others do not like the idea of their lives being dictated by arbitrary, antiquated ideas or people who follow them.

good luck tuffy... im sure, someday you will smash the injustices wrought upon you by people using pronouns and trying to make a safe space for themselves on the internet.

Because many people here disagree with your view point, that is why people downvote you.

LGBTQ community are productive members of the society. For example, a good proportion of the researcher I met are LGBTQ (between 1/10 to 1/5). They are spending their life to advance science for human kind and finding a way to guide our future.

Hence the LGBTQ community deserve to feel free, safe, and accepted to the society that they contribute so much too. I know that might bring changes to your life that you are not used to, but that the point of progress. We as people and as a society are constantly bettering ourselves, and that means sometimes we need to change our old ways together to build a more inclusive and productive society.
