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 is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let's be civil.

And if you're a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

The comments here are what has prompted me to stop using Lemmy altogether. Farewell.

Where the hell you going to go? The entire internet is this way. Going LAN only?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not the entire Internet. That's false.

You are correct reddit is celebrating even harder!

Going LAN only?

At this rate, even there will likely be disagreements.

I agree with you. Most people on Lemmy have shown themselves to be disgusting and vile, wishing murder on innocent people. It's fine as long as it's not them or their family, as long as it's anyone else.

Who are you calling innocent? Literally thousands have died so this guy could get a bonus check.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's not true. You have no source for this accusation. This is like saying everyone who works at a job deserves to die. (Including yourself if you actually work.)

What do you think happens when someone with a treatable condition that would normally lead to death is denied medication for that condition?

They don't magically get better.

Under his leadership he had the highest (by far) denial of coverage rate of any healthcare company in the world.

And was trying to push the number of denial to 90+%.

That is millions of people.

Do you think they all magically got better?

The big question to me is, why doesn't THAT bother you nearly as much? I don't see your comments sharing any outrage in that direction.

Denying insurance claims isn't reason to get murdered.

The Stockholm effect on some people 🧐 Problems don't exist until it hits them directly, only then they scream for justice.

This is not a lemmy problem. This is an everywhere problem. If you find a platform not talking about it then it is being heavily moderated and you're going to be in an echo chamber. For instance Facebook had a United health memorial post with 25x more "haha" reactions than heart/ sad reactions.

Best of luck though

Edit: wall street journal has called this a "nationwide outpouring of anger and frustration"
