!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:
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.
Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!
The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
Yes, posted under a video tbag maybe a guy shouldn't get beaten to tears fir stealing cigarettes from 7/11 and I got massdownvited while someone saying they were glad the employee broke company policy of just leaving the fucking guy alone, because they don't want the liability and the losses are negligible.
Like he's stealing from a big Corp tbag steals from it's workers, WHO CARES?! I certainly wouldn't care enough to beat a man with a board!
I’m super tired of seeing all this circlejerking over sync and people acting like I’m crazy for not spending money to make an app ad free when I could just keep using my free ad free app
Yeah, I use Jerboa because it's fine and it's FOSS. No ads, acceptable content management, and frankly, not being really amazingly fine tuned means I don't want to stay on it forever. I would rather send my money to my instance admin to keep the server running.
The lack of bots help. Honestly I wasn't sure how many posts on the old site were made by actual people anymore (or just hired propagandists/"advertisers") .
My last scroll through the front page had the stink of CHATGPT + paid posters/reposters on it and the comments were just repeated deja vu.
Yeah, though that's largely because the assholes that migrated tend to be idiots, so it took them a while to get past the learning curve.
Luckily, we have a block function.
I just wanted to read some Strange Planet and Extra Fabulous Comics... Maybe a little Pizzacake... See what the latest memes are... I had no idea what Barbieheimer was until CNN told me...
I haven't used Reddit in a good couple of months, but there are some things I miss. Anyway, I promise not to reply to anything with "This"...
I'm already having Reddit style debates so definitely
Too many bad faith weirdos
The ratio of good discussions to that noise is pretty good though
Well, when I look at the All communities list, I'm not yet seeing an endless flood of groups with "_irl", "circlejerk", or groups for every single damn anime in existence.
So, thankfully, it's not feeling too Reddit just yet.
groups for every single damn anime in existence.
Subreddits for small niche interests is the thing I miss most from reddit and the only thing I return for now and then. Maybe I don't care for those singular anime, but I'm glad the people that do have/had it available to them.
Right now I can't watch twitch whole working so the only places to get a quick update on evo (what many consider to be the biggest fighting game tournament yearly, happening now) are reddit and twitter. Not great imo.
Reddit migrant here. I actually much prefer the conversations here. Comment threads are still small enough to be manageable, people seem more patient and helpful, and overall, it's less toxic.
As for the Sync drama, I'm perfectly happy with Connect, but I'm looking forward to Boost, which was my Reddit app of choice.
