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.

I've read enough political posts on Lemmy to know that the correct term for the people in the middle is "Nazi sympathizers."
Does that tell you where the strongest voices on Lemmy fall?
The other answer is "the left / right spectrum is false." The actual spectrum is "right / wrong," and the writer's beliefs are always on the former side.
Amen. Any political post I make, even like citing basic facts of government and law... often results in multiple screams of nazi and maybe one reply that is legit.
Extremists don't like facts. Just the other gay some guy was arguing me and he defaulted to 'everything is propaganda, therefore anything you say is propaganda'. And well, he got me. Because apparently in his world me taking a dump is a form of political pro-capitalist propaganda.
Oh, definitely. The far left never did anything wrong. They only want unicorns and rainbows. All the states that turned authoritarian to preserve their revolution of the workers are actually just far right fascists. If you want to make a dollar or increase your home's appeal and attraction, you're a stooge of Big Somebody.
had someone yesterday comment multiple times at me how financing my car was endorsing fascism.
You don't walk or ride a bike everywhere? Literal Nazi.
Then if you point out the implicist ableism in that... well you're a woke nazi...
It's difficult for some to understand the world is not black and white. I am an anarchist I always have to start saying: "I am an anarchist but I understand the world I am in and the things I have to do to survive they doesn't mean I can't spread the word" and the last word goes hard because I am a anarchocristian.
You can't talk with "black and white world people". All you can do is reply in hopes those who read don't fall into the "black and white world hole".
I would like to not own a car, to not have to spend half my life working for a company that pollutes the world and to no need money. I don't live in that world but I can try to put a small stone in building that world even though I won't see it because we are not ready for it.
That being said I hate this world where the State is God and its getting worse but as the saying goes: "the night is darker before dawn"
