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.

I share pots, replies, and links just like I did with reddit to my friends, co-workers, and family. Generally I work to keep the stuff im linking to appropriate for the target audience.

Nope.

Not even with my partner.

And I don’t creep on hers. That’s just awkward, and any case… anything I might be interested in… that’s why they invented burner accounts.

That doesn’t mean I don’t share the thought behind comments/posts, but I’m not showing them my posts.

I share screenshots of my comments on posts to my sister all the time.

Is this part of your sibling goofing routine?

I don't promote promote Lemmy to anyone because of all the propaganda. Lemmy.ml, Hexbear, etc

I will if it ever gets cleaned up, I love the idea of the fediverse

Rarely. When i do, i crop my name. I almost made a post about something that happened to a friend today, but changed my mind because i assume her husband is here.

Oh geez. What did my wife do this time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Left a school building (mostly offices with a few kids sometimes) during a lockdown to meet her little kids at home for school bus dropoff - other family and friends were unavailable. The official notice was just NOT A DRILL, but outside source said it was due to shots fired in the neighborhood. I think she made the right decision (look around, open door, close door, walk to car) but I'm sure she'll get a beatdown at our next staff meeting. Wondered what others thought.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'm glad she's ok, and I hope they don't give her too much trouble about it.

Personally, there are few rules or procedures that should stand between a parent and their child.

The rogue in my d&d group made a PowerPoint presentation to me, the DM, about why she should be allowed to run an orphan powered criminal underground. I posted one of the slide on Mastodon and she wanted to see other's comments on it so I linked it to the group. It's the only time Mastodon has ever came up outside of talking to my partner about it lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I make regular jokes about my wife and run it by her for approval. And I bring my laptop over to show pictures.N junk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah. I'm hilarious and the world deserves to know.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I may tell people about a post but I would not share the post with them directly. I intend to keep my online handles a secret from people I know IRL.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I would but no one would be interested

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, those that are relevant to her interests. I am not going to show her my [email protected] stories but I will show here the cat pics before uploading them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No, mainly because if you sort posts by new here it's in large majority nothing anyone I know wants to see, and I don't want them to think that's what I'm here for.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No, but it wouldn't bother me if people I know IRL see them and recognise me. It's happened a couple of times before (on Reddit).
