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.

Hi I’m new to Lemmy since Reddit decided to permaban me due to support I showed for Luigi. Good riddance to be honest. I should have fully quit when they shut down Apollo but didn’t know Lemmy existed.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Just keep in mind that if you are not satisfied with how your particular instance is running, you don't have to stop using lemmy like you did with reddit. You can switch to a different instance and keep on chilling!

No more switching services! Gotta love this place.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To expand on this: You can migrate accounts fairly easily. You can export your subscribed communities, and import them into your new account. So the only real thing you’re losing is your post history, but even that is seen as a bonus by many users who are looking to burn their old account.

Glorifying violence is A-Ok when the government awards people the Medal of Honor.

Reddit needs to come up with a more accurate excuse for their censorship.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Their excuse is monnney. Look at Twitter, people are pulling their ads because they are not happy with what's happening there. Keep the people who give you money happy and everything is fine. No matter if you would have to sell your soul (like Disney in China, to not get banned and miss millions of subscribers). Since the ad companies usually are big corporate, you can imagine what reddit their stance is.

Reddit said so because it's CEO is known to be a greedy bastard who threw everything and everyone Bunder the bus for money. Luigi would not approve

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 106 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If sharing Luigi's manifesto is glorifying violence then so is sharing the Declaration of Independence.

If only Thomas Jefferson had somehow managed to cap a member of English Royalty. Instead, then Jefferson crossed the pond to suck up to Louis XVI, shortly before the man went full Ropespierre's Necktie.

note that reddit didn't have a problem with "orks must die jokes" or people celebrating war fotage as long as they celebrate the right peoples deaths

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 days ago

Drone kill footage is like the reciepts of investment, if not the product itself.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 43 points 6 days ago (4 children)

No, it's not.

It's an acknowledgement that there's a massive problem.

These companies are literally willing to bankrupt you to death. Their behavior is inexcusable. They profiteer off of human suffering.

We live in a country founded by people who were unhappy with the status quo and were willing to pick up a gun to change things. We shouldn't act surprised that it still happens. I don't think we should celebrate it, because it's sad that this is happening in the first place, that someone feels they need to do this. This problem is solvable, and it can be solved civilly, or it will be solved uncivilly.

For a website with sections called nsfl and fight porn reddit takes a weird stance on manifestos.

[–] Kevnyon@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You mean the website that didn't ban creepshots until MSM reported on it? That website?

Of course not, it's just Spez sucking up to the billionaires in the hope that one of them will be dumb enough to toss him a few million for his shitpile.

[–] taanegl@lemmy.ml 69 points 6 days ago

Reddit gargles fascist schlong.

Nuff said.

[–] Gemini24601@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Anyone with half a brain can see that it isn’t “glorifying” violence, it’s merely giving an explanation of why Luigi did what he did. Glorification would play more into pathos, but the manifesto is mostly ethos

See, then you are giving a murderer's message publicity. As opposed to UnitedHealthcare, responsible for far more many deaths, having the ability to have as much publicity and as many lobbyists as they want.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Alleged murderer.

I think he is more than just the (relatively trivial) allegations against him. He has rallied support for massively reforming the American Healthcare system, which will save countless lives, improve our quality of life, and ensure the financial stability of the American Public.

Fuck Reddit.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 38 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (9 children)

I've definently noticed how more and more things are being disallowed to talk about on social media. It's just a matter of which platforms has which rules, but the rules are also changing as more and more people are complaining about reading things they don't agree with.

I suspect we will just discuss memes in the future, and politics, since politics is something that the leaders want us to care about and fight eachother over.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 15 points 6 days ago

That's because America is the land of the free to shut up and do what you're told, or else.

I've always thought well educated people have a great potential to be dangerous and achieve transcendental goals if organized. A group of engineers, of chemists, physicists, biologists, computer scientists after specific goals may be formidable enemies if they wanted. The 0.001%, the dirty rich, should now be aware.

Reddit also thinks appealing a ridiculous van is harassment, so not exactly the brightest bulbs over there.

[–] ChildeHarold@lemm.ee 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Reddit sucks. They're the reason I came to Lemmy. They're absolute trash.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago (5 children)

I started to realize that the thing I liked about Reddit were the analytical and thoughtful people like me on the platform. When I came here, I found that many came over. When I visit Reddit, either because I'm nostalgic or because I have a specific need for something there, I'm finding more and more recent posts that are mostly filled with trash. Sure, some of the insightful, thoughtful and analytical people are still hanging around, but the vast majority has shifted away from that type of person. Reddit has also become so mainstream that is a stone's throw away from xitter or Facebook in terms of quality. Everyone and their mother is starting a Reddit account.

I miss when old.reddit.com was just reddit.com.

I mean, lots of .world communities will censor it too, and they’re still FEDerated.

[–] Jamablaya@lemmy.today 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I literally found my way here because of lemmy.world bullshit. No, discussing jury nullification isn't inciting to violence.

sharing information is important. whether or not you are glorifying it depends on context.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

No. It’s just Reddit’s thought police.

[–] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not much of a Manifesto..., that's just a Note my dudes.

In this case, I think of more like Guy Fawkes…..there is clearly a problem with the us death care system. And we are right to be angry with these companies that profiteer on our sickness and in some cases that result in people dying from delayed or denied care. Is is right to murder someone? No, of course not. I think the question to ask is who is the real murderer?

[–] kava@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

I think federal government probably sent a pretty please over to reddit HQ to censor this.

They're afraid of it fomenting further dissent. It's a delicate situation when the plebs are upset. A little bit is OK, in fact preferable. But too much can lead to a chain reaction that cannot be controlled.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Would it's get me banned to reply with "I love reading about CEOs getting killed, and I want more of them to die"?

Edit:in minecraft.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about what he wrote.

Shorter than some git commit messages. I’m a fan.
