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.

At a previous workplace one of my coworkers had an abuse trigger of hearing gum chewed - they didn't explain in detail (and I didn't ask) but clearly they'd been through a rough enough time that they asked people sitting near them to refrain from having gum in the office.
I, personally, loathe the specific shade of orange associated with Halloween for my own private reasons.
When we have a strong negative experience, especially if that experience is continuous over a long time. It's perfectly fair to be triggered emotionally by things you associate with that experience - it's not fair to others to show them hate for traits they share with the people who gave you those negative experiences but your reaction to those triggers are valid. I want to clarify that last sentence, for some people it's impossible not to feel strong emotions when exposed to a trigger like that - but you should be rationally aware that people you meet on the street who speak Cantonese are not your family members and did not cause you that pain. If you find yourself in a painful situation you should try to remove yourself from that situation if possible or make people aware of your emotions if possible prior to expressing your emotions on someone unaware. With the triggering action being a language that will be especially difficult since it's likely to be perceived as xenophobia so I'd stress trying to remove yourself from a situation if you're feeling strong emotions.
