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.

MODERATORS
 

I originally signed up for lemmy about six months ago due to becoming outraged over reddit's continual coddling of hard right and fascist powermods that use their authority to harass.

It was good here at lemmy.world for a long while until I started getting harassed by a 12 day old right leaning mod in /politics.

I posted a thread here about what to do and even got back a response from the site operator.

Which was shortly followed by a PM my thekingoflorida (the site operator) scolding me and threatening action for calling out the mods bad behavior in threads.

Reading the wind I realized lemmy.world is heading down the shitshow path that so many other online social forums have become and immediately deleted my account.

@thekingoflorida I do not want you to respond, I don't care about your opinion, and if the fucking software would let me block you, I would have already.

So in short, I'm looking for a lemmy instance that has zero right wing users with admins that actually want to keep right wing forum manipulation off of their platform. I don't care about 'the marketplace of ideas' or fairness in speech that tries to give space to fascist rhetoric in the guise of equality.

EVERY time they worm their ways in and have admin support, it ALWAYS railroads into what ruined reddit. And I'm tired of these shitstains ruining communities that I enjoy.

So, TL;DR: I'm looking for a lemmy instance with ZERO tolerance for anything right of Bill Clinton.

because you could self serve that with

  1. Never heard of that site before so your assumption is pretty unwarranted.

  2. Only 2 sites show up with the 'leftist' tag, one is for tankies and the other is for people in the midwest. I am neither of these.

How I read your post:

I'm not responsible for your baises or reading comprehension issues. I asked a question, gave the reason why I was asking it, and you chose to go off on an unrelated tangent about drama. And for some reason the mods seem to think that Rule 8 doesn't apply to you.

I appreciate you giving context for your question, that allowed us to have a richer discourse about making you happy in the long term.

The reason context is important, is so that we can see the meta question around the actual question.

As far as the rule 8 relevancy discussion goes, I believe every one of my comments here has been a good faith and attempt to be extremely relevant to your concern. We can disagree about that, but I don't wish you to be moderated out of the discussion

Your initial reply wasn't even close to an attempt to answer my question, pretend to be civil all you want I know what your kind is like.

but I don’t wish you to be moderated out of the discussion

Yes and that was exactly the form of site operator supported harassment took, so I don't want to participate in a lemmy instance that has a site operator with a willingness to support right wing activist mods.

In 2015 when reddit was gearing up for its great fascist expansion, I saw these signs and called them out to mods, users, and admins, and UNIVERSALLY the response was quite similar to yours: 'why are you causing drama?'

Now look what that fucking site is like.

And for some reason you are confused why me finding that lemmy.world is rapidly heading in that direction already would be frustrating.

Look, thanks for the list to the lemmyverse search, but other than that my time with you has been a sad waste of electrons. You just forwarded the heat death of the universe by a tiny increment with your non-answer.
