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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Not really. But I purposely avoid any politics related community.
how?, please teach me your secret
Depending on your client (i use Sync so im not sure about others) but using the filters for certain keywords can block out a bit of the noise. The first two i added a while back were 'trump' and 'musk' and it was immediately more pleasant.
I use Voyager and also used keyword filters. Currently I have "Trump, Musk, MAGA, GOP, Repubilcan, Democrat" I still get mostly US political crap content... It seems these filters only apply to the titles?
It makes no difference. The single minded fuckwits will inject politics into a thread about cheese sandwiches.
Cheese sandwiches are a tool of capitalist oppression. They are a symbol of how the working class is unable to get the nutrition they need and is yet another attempt by the liberals to make you forget their support of genocide. Eating cheese sandwiches supports genocide.
I would like to note that although correct this comment is itself a bit rude
I dont care if I offend the fuckwits. Maybe they can do a little self reflection.
I would recommend you do the same. Why do you think they are bringing up politics in seemingly unrelated conversations?
Read the part I wrote about "single minded fuckwits."
That pretty much sums it up.
Is it possible that politics has relevancy to a large portion of our lives and cannot be cleanly separated from our other experiences?
This is the issue I've seen everywhere. Military grade TDS. Even if you want to chat about your love for onions in an onion-based community, someone will probably talk about how orange man destroyed onion farmland and is a fascist. I don't think there's a way to avoid the constant repetitive rage seeping into everything.
What is TDS?
Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is where people are concerned about Trump doing blatantly illegal shit (this is somehow a bad thing apparently)
Trump Derangement Syndrome should be when you agree with and defend everything the deranged pedophile says.
One day historians will with any luck define whatever trump has as the Trump Derangement Syndrome.
