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.

New tech is usually a sausage party at first.

My wild guess is it’s about 75/25 right now.

[–] girl@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I guess roughly 60/40 men to women (and a good amount of non-binary people), based on the conversations I’ve had about gender here

It's always good to know who your audience is. Different people have different biases, different experiences, different world views, etc.

[–] Sticker@lemy.nl 8 points 2 years ago

I wonder why the topic deserved a minus in the ranking?

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

More men than women like most sites. Probably 70/30.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why is this getting such a controversial vote ratio?

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reading my comments below (including the not too much downvoted ones) should bring you close to an answer.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I must be too dumb then, but thanks for answering

[–] Today@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I asked a couple of months ago and it was about 60m/40f, and age landed with over half being 30-55.

[–] RichRatsch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd go classic pareto 80/20 and make it 70/20/10 with non binary in the mix.

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd say I'm about 82% man and 17% woman. Beats me what the remaining 1% should be called. Maybe "cabinet"??

[–] A_A@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly 10 women for every man ideally here and everywhere else including in real life 😆

[–] Sticker@lemy.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not very funny. But I didn't give you a minus)

[–] A_A@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thanks for this. Anyway I notice I got zero upvote. So at this point, it doesn't change much. (you got my upvote).

But I really do think it would be nice to have this ratio in society. I do believe woman are more peaceful. So I suppose it could make a more egalitarian world with less wars.

You may have heard of those societies where only woman can own houses and land. Those societies are very peaceful from documentaries I have watched.

I believe it was on Reddit or somewhere else there was this community where each post was for survey // polling. The way it worked is below the post you would upvote if you want to answer this or that. So each comment you upvote for each possible answer.
This is great because it is anonymous.
I don't want in the future a user telling me "okay, you have this opinion because you are this or that".

P.S. : I just tried something along those lines in here :
https://lemmy.world/post/5252297

Results are not so good ...

P.S. #2 My post was deleted ... in which You wrote :

Congratulations. (Your question has more dislikes)

and I believe you mean that you were...

...Faced on reddit with the fact that many do not understand the joke. They are also too sensitive to the issue of gender and self-identification. This is not worth mentioning, otherwise they will put minuses in the rating.

Yes my post has more dislikes than your post. and I agree with your analysis of the situation.

On top of this I now realize I made a mistake on the method I used for this post. User here (my deleted post) create troll categories because they suppose they would be identified to a category which they propose and they don't want that. Finally, I now believe with you that this avenue is doomed.

On the other hand, I find a few comments and answers here (in my deleted post) quite funny 😋
