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.

Listen,
for folks who don’t know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.

I am not talking out of my ass.

You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer

Ain't driving 400 miles to Sacramento when there's a perfectly good Federal Building within a mile. Also it's not the State of California I'm mad at.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yup, that's a good 8 hour drive for me as well.

So happy for Americans to get to re-enact Tianamen Square 2, (except without the scholars and students of course, you're Americans)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

oooh.... someone mentioned this on 196, was that you? I did a couple web searches but couldn't figure it out... they might delete this post, u should think about where else to post it...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No it wasn't me and i made a comment in here describing where i found it.
Also i read carefully the rules and don't believe my post will be deleted.
Finally, just in case, i made a cross-post at my own community for safekeeping.

Edit: yeah I don't know about politics. Downvote me for daydreaming.


Now I wonder if all that extra Kamala money she had leftover from donations could've gone to an organization to fix this American nightmare. Give us back the American dream.

The start is voting in democrats so we have a majority in DC in 2 years. The org could also help back these protests to raise awareness by making local adverts on billboards/public trans/radio.

Make it a 4 year campaign to flip America blue. Then we might be able to fix some shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Most democrats at the federal level are complicit in a lot of what’s going on, including Musk’s DOGE treasury crap (crimes?) despite him not being a government employee or confirmed by the senate. Hell, most congressional democrats JUST in the last year voted for the legislation that enables ICE to indefinitely detain any suspected immigrant suspected of committing any crime. No due process. No actual crime needed.

Screw voting for democrats. Democrats voted to let the government round up the people I love to be deported or tortured. If we still have the power to vote, vote for leftists. Or vote for left-of-average-democrat people like Bernie.

Ahh. So they're not just lazy, they're in on it. Gotcha.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

Can this start at let’s say 5:30pm. I work until 4pm hour plus drive or 2 hour bus ride. Actually make it 7
