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.

I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don't actually think everyone there is insane. I don't care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It's not going to scare me to take this down

Do you have any examples of this? Since world is defederated from that instance, I only end up visiting it when people like you come in and talk about how absolutely crazy it is over there, so occasionally I'll take a curious peek. This time I see... a post about Indigenous rights, a post criticizing capitalism, a post dunking on musk, a post about FOSS... when do I start seeing the crazy?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They very quickly ban people who disagree with their propaganda. So just browsing, it looks like left leaning but generally sane people.

Go on there and say anything negative at all about China. You'll see the crazy.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Have you considered you are just observing this:

Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the "default" liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.

Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they're going to ban you. It's not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.

This isn't accurate, they were very active in brigandine other federations, hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments drowning out anything that may be a tiny bit critical of china or Russia. Or pro west.

There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

hitting random threads on .world

Dang that's pretty impressive for an instance that got blocked by .world before they ever started federating.

Or did I already miss make stuff up o'clock?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments

.world preemptively defederated from hexbear "as a last resort" can you clarify when the events you're referring to would have happened?

I'm not trying to join their cult. I'm not feeling excluded from their cult. I'm saying their cult should not exist. It is a mixture of crazy people and Chinese propaganda, and it deserves to be stamped out.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn't mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not everyone who disagrees with me. Just extremists and morons. Tankies happen to be both.

REAL communists are cool. Hexbear is a pile of shit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Are the real communists kept around back with the real scotsmen?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Real communists keep quiet around hexbear because they don't associate with those idiots.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What do you consider a real Communist, if not people who read Communist Theory, advocate for Communism, and defend real movements towards Communism?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why do you, a self-professed liberal that has not read Communist Theory, get to pull the No-True-Scotsman card on Communists?

It's been on my mind recently that the global hope of lgbt people is China.

🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Go on, copy Awoo's full quote.

It's been on my mind recently that the global hope of lgbt people is China.

That's gonna sound weird to anyone that thinks China is anti-lgbt, but the reality is that only exists among the old and they're phasing out. China's trajectory for lgbt issues is likely to be positive, because China's trajectory for PEOPLE issues is positive.

The west is in decline, and with it the marginalised groups are being scapegoated as targets to distract the population from their declining conditions. Lgbt issues are likely to deteriorate across the west as the decline continues, as are other issues such as migrants and race.

China will represent a population of 1.4 billion people in ascendancy and with a positive trend towards these issues I believe it's going to eventually become the place with the best conditions along similar lines to Cuba. It will represent the largest block of lgbt people in the world, and the lgbt people of China will become the largest advocate of lgbt conditions elsewhere in the world.

This hasn't happened yet, but the trends are there. It's coming in the longterm.

How authoritarian

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I might not agree with the moderation practices or even their opinions, but that doesn't make them crazy.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You got cause and effect mixed up.

We disagree with them because they are crazy.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

lemmy.world users don't interact with hexbeqr users because your admin preemptively defederated from hexbear "as a last resort". At no point were the two federated. I don't know about crazy, but that seems inconsistent. Don't you agree?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Found the hexbear with a .ml alt rofl

That's how we interact with hexbears. Via .ml

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

do you have an argument that doesn't rely on ableism?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. Here it goes:

"ableism" is used as cover for shills to attempt to shut down people who call out their batshit insanity.

Oops

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

got it. for anyone else reading this: why exactly is jumping straight to mental illness as the source of any disagreement not ableist? Does someone who struggles with mental health get no say on literally any topic?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Blah blah fuck tankies. Fuck Putin. Fuck the CCP. Fuck hexbear.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (23 children)

If you're a rabid right winger like most redditors anyone with half a brain will seem crazy.
