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.

I've seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.

if I remember correctly they were:

  • smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
  • someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going "but you are from .world") (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the "puching nazis" theme)
  • one more which I can't remember.

Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

.world is the biggest instance and therefore a prime choice for trolls to create accounts. Most of the trash posts I’ve seen lately are from brand new users on lemmy.world

I am equally suspicious of brand new lemmy.world users as I am of veterans of lemmy.ml. Older accounts on .world are usually pretty normal.

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I like to think of myself as normal lol

I'm here because kbin.social died and this was my next oldest account

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I moved to fedia.io because it is basically kbin.social, but working.

[–] dcpDarkMatter@kbin.earth 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I moved to kbin.earth (which later migrated to mbin).

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago

Glad to hear kbin/mbin is still alive. Any good communities/“magazines” there I should check out?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I tried fedia.io, but it's mobile website design is pure ass. It's nice on my tablet, where there's more room for the design to breathe a bit.....but smooshed together on the cell phone layout, nothing makes sense. I want to like it, but I'm only on my tablet like 20% of the time. Cell phone is my main use.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Good to hear you found something that works for you. Personally, I've had no problems browsing on phone, though every right sidebar being in the top-left hamburger menu took a while to get used to

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I probably would have gone there, but I didn't want to make another new account, so I just ended up falling back to one I already had.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Haven't heard of the news. Do you mind telling me what happened to kbin?

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The developer and admin, Ernest, went through a rough patch in his life. Development and server upkeep fell off during this time, and it wasn't picked back up again. I don't think anyone's heard from him in a long while now, but I don't really know.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

My twin, I was on kbin.social as well

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

lemmy.world is popular, which has its pros and cons. At least you didn't pick hexbear lol

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My first account in this place was on .ml because it was only them and beehaw at the time, and I ended up deleting it once controversy popped up lol

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How dare you call me normal good sir.

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In my experience (hexbear and .ml instances excluded) the majority of trolls I encounter seems to be from either infosec.pub or blahaj.zone

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I usually see them from ee or sh.it.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Those blasted canadians.
