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.

Hi I’m new to Lemmy since Reddit decided to permaban me due to support I showed for Luigi. Good riddance to be honest. I should have fully quit when they shut down Apollo but didn’t know Lemmy existed.

Just keep in mind that if you are not satisfied with how your particular instance is running, you don't have to stop using lemmy like you did with reddit. You can switch to a different instance and keep on chilling!

No more switching services! Gotta love this place.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

To expand on this: You can migrate accounts fairly easily. You can export your subscribed communities, and import them into your new account. So the only real thing you’re losing is your post history, but even that is seen as a bonus by many users who are looking to burn their old account.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Additionally, some instances disable up/downvotes as well so you don't even need to worry about internet points if you don't want to.

It's worth looking around and finding a few instances you like and checking them out. Some tend to have their old local culture which is kind of neat.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 24 points 6 days ago

Reddit said so because it's CEO is known to be a greedy bastard who threw everything and everyone Bunder the bus for money. Luigi would not approve

Glorifying violence is A-Ok when the government awards people the Medal of Honor.

Reddit needs to come up with a more accurate excuse for their censorship.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Their excuse is monnney. Look at Twitter, people are pulling their ads because they are not happy with what's happening there. Keep the people who give you money happy and everything is fine. No matter if you would have to sell your soul (like Disney in China, to not get banned and miss millions of subscribers). Since the ad companies usually are big corporate, you can imagine what reddit their stance is.

[–] x0chi@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They must have some data that this time some thing is awakening against the corporate greed.

[–] DankDingleberry@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

sharing information is important. whether or not you are glorifying it depends on context.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago

No. It’s just Reddit’s thought police.

[–] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not much of a Manifesto..., that's just a Note my dudes.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

Manifestnote.

[–] sparrowstimulus@r.nf 9 points 6 days ago

In this case, I think of more like Guy Fawkes…..there is clearly a problem with the us death care system. And we are right to be angry with these companies that profiteer on our sickness and in some cases that result in people dying from delayed or denied care. Is is right to murder someone? No, of course not. I think the question to ask is who is the real murderer?

[–] kava@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I think federal government probably sent a pretty please over to reddit HQ to censor this.

They're afraid of it fomenting further dissent. It's a delicate situation when the plebs are upset. A little bit is OK, in fact preferable. But too much can lead to a chain reaction that cannot be controlled.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about what he wrote.

Shorter than some git commit messages. I’m a fan.

i would argue no, but then again, there's a difference between posting it, and supporting it.

glorifying and supporting violence is almost always against the rules on any platform anywhere. So.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

r/combatfootage has glorified violence for years now. That's the only reason it exists.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

What reddit thinks about anything matters to nobody but themselves

[–] cranakis@reddthat.com 5 points 6 days ago

I be searching like this these days:

-site:www.reddit.com

Fuck reddit. Fuck Spez and Fuck the police.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Why would it be? The only actual reference to violence is the fact that it happened ("[…] faced it with such brutal honesty.") and the reasoning behind it.

No, it's not. But there's a general fear that spreading manifestos of terrorists could cause people to believe them. They did the same thing with Bin Laden's manifesto.

For the record, I oppose this, it's just that I can understand why this sort of thing is done.
