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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

uuuuh, yeah. I usually assume that if I get a lot of downvotes or a comment I agree with gets a lot of downvotes, then my opinion must be wrong.
On the other hand, if something I am not sure about gets upvoted, then it's probably good. I trust others more.
Probably not a good thing, but I don't trust myself with opinions. Though it's not completely black and white either. It depends on where it is, who's giving majority of replies*, and some bit of reconsideration (e.g.: is it logical, is it harmful).
But in the end, it does shape my opinions into what I believe is "more correct".
Certain (more serious) decision-making for opinions may however take me 24 hours or even more. This helps me to balance out the effects of morning vs night-time emotional state**, which differs more with lack of sleep. If even then I am undecided, the upvotes win it and I take it as my own opinion.
Asterisks
* There's a priority to trustworthiness. For example, lemmy.blahaj.zone has a high level of trustworthiness while hexbear.net ranks low. Let's say there is something I agree with, but it is downvoted to hell. However, most replies are from hexbear.net or lemmy.ml with negative tone. In this case, I won't really consider the votes, since I don't know who they are from, but likely largely influenced by these 2.Now on the other hand, say there is something I disagree with. However it is highly upvoted and most replies are from lemmy.blahaj.zone with positive tone. In this case, my opinion is most likely shit and needs to be reconsidered.
** Most of the time, in the morning I am influenced by negative emotions while at night I am influenced by... also mostly negative emotions, but this time towards myself rather than others. Late night can be fairly positive at times, however.
Generally speaking...
Morning: Anger, feeling of 100% rightfulness, feeling of higher importance, not caring about others
Night: Sadness, feeling of being wrong in everything, worthlessness, wanting to be useful, thoughts of suicide, highly affected by music
Midnight (sometimes): Spike in productivity, positivity, will to do things
ive watch luke smith and he talks alot that we shouldnt be emotionally linked to social medias, hiding likes and etc might kinda help?
