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.

good point. will do that
Maybe one of these?
Kinda hilarious that it's one of only 3 comms on that instance.
It's also just that idiot repost bot taking posts from other instances.
Thank you
It's on free instance Hilarious Chaos. I think it's called Shitty ask lemmy
Hilarious Chaos is a transphobic hate instance full of Nazis.
Hey I'm not advocating the usage of it, I'm just answering a question.
I think some of the communities are just good fun, I'm not judging any of the characters who visit the instance. But I agree that some of the communities and some of its patrons have a not so open minded view of the world and prefer to speak in a language of hate rather than a language of love. I stand against that. But I do stand against broad censorship in the grand scheme of things. I prefer a world when people can say anything they like as long as they take the time to look at issues from several angles that do not correspond with their own. Right wing, left wing, it doesn't really matter as long as we all take the time to really appreciate where someone else is coming from.
As long as their opinion is sufficiently substantiated.
And I do concur with you that hate speech towards any groups of people in general is not a part of that discord.
I’m not advocating for it to be defederated I’m saying that by interacting with that instance you’re enabling shitty admins, mods and users to be shitty.
No amount of substantiation can justify bigoted worldviews. There is no amount of research that makes standing against equal rights more justified, it's the opposite. How could you truly understand any opposing worldview if you still remain in opposition to the basic human rights of others? That person is either dumb, misinformed, or malicious.
I'm just answering or asking questions is a fucking dog whistle, what the fuck. , Do you think anybody believes your bullshit
