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.

Lately? Were you not here during elections when a bunch of kids were accusing everyone of supporting genocide?
"Republicans are fascist"
"I know. That's why I'm voting Democrat."
"Democrats aren't real leftists"
"I'm aware but this isn't the time for purity politics."
"Democrats support genocide."
"And Republicans don't?"
"Both sides are equally bad so voting is dumb. Don't vote."
"Listen, I've got friends and family with skin in this game. Both parties fucking suck but you know what really sucks? Having a fucking fascist dimwit who thinks your cousin is subhuman because she was assigned male at birth as your president."
"So you support genocide? Typical libshit."
"Ok, then what is your alternative?"
"You would know what it is if you read this dry, arcane bullshit about the reification of contemporary autonomous groups in Third World popular movements."
The lack of perspective from leftist that say that. Sometimes I'm not sure if they are fed posting.
Nailed it! That’s damn near a perfect representation of ever conversation with them.
Were you not here for that same year when anyone who said that democrats shouldn't be supporting genocide was accused of being a russian chinese trumper republican tankie bot? Oh, and as you accused in your comment just now, a child.
democrats still have no business supporting genocide. It's shameful and there needs to be accountability. None is forthcoming.
As you can all see, some of them are still around.
I was just saying that there was also hostility and accusations against the anti-genocide left from the pro-genocide center.
Which continues to this day. Not gonna start accepting genocide just because you don't like hearing that it's wrong.
Is the gEnoCiDe in the room with you now? If not, can you show us on a doll where the gEnOciDE hurt you?
Newsflash for ya my guy,
Genocide is not a new thing. It’s always been around. And no matter how much people cry about it, it’ll continue regardless.
But you do you!
Gonna block you now as I can’t see any reason to think you’ll ever have anything to say that I would take interest in.
Gloat.
I think it's still like that, actually.
It’s actually quite a bit more tame than it once was.
They still are but I've learned to love the block list and use it judiciously with people who go beyond good faith arguments of any sort.
That’s most of the people here in political conversations.
