No Stupid Questions
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.

yes, a General Strike... if the people of the USA stop working for a week, that would be enough to cripple the Orange pedophile supporters
In the meantime, you can do very easy stuff like deleting your Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc), Google, Xitter and Amazon accounts... but that seems like too much to ask of the American people... better descend further into fascism and drag the world down than stop using X
Europe is its own path. You guys will have internet id before USA the way you guys are going.
Half of the USA already have internet id in some form or another... also, I am not in Europe
They would just call it a terrorist attack from antifa. Americans are terrified of an uprising from black people, it's why they all have 12 guns.
Man it's so cute when you people think you know what you're talking about
You have to be aware of the fact that those people are a vocal minority.
even better
Holy shit, this doesn't work. It's 2026. You cannot get the runway you need to ever make this happen. None of you even bothered to create the runway. You handed the runways over to the people you want to protest.
The very last thing you should be doing is deleting any of that. You need to be creating multiple accts. Building groups. Building hype. Spreading information and stopping theirs. You have no business ever suggesting a general strike until you solve how to control the messaging.
General strike is maximum effort. Online action is much lower effort. If you can not find success at lower effort activities, you'll never get success at higher effort. You don't walk into a marathons without running 5km just because you have big feelings. Need to work up to it.
A general strike would be effective but it will never happen because there is no safety net. For most people, participating in a general strike would mean starving. Most people in the US live paycheck to paycheck. If they don't work then they don't get paid then they don't get to eat and likely wind up evicted when they can't recover from the missed pay. Our oligarchs have worked very hard to build a system where a general strike is functionally impossible.
do you think people all over the world who have held a general strike were all well off and had plenty of savings to hold them through it??
