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.

So a quick distinction might be that libertarians want a minimal state while anarchists want no state.

Aka house cats and yappy dogs.

And I know that's apt because it pisses lemmy off

Or maybe it just doesn't answer the question lol.

"I'm downvoted, it must be because I'm right!" is a very silly conclusion here.

Updoots = truth is much sillier but keep yappin puppy.

Either way you clearly took offense and no amount of reddit dunks will hide that

"I'm right because it pisses people off" is pathetic. Find a hobby.

You offended little yappy pup?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 48 minutes ago

Offended by weak trolling? No. You haven't done anything offensive, just idiotic. It's sad to see someone try so hard to annoy others and fail. Trolling is easy as fuck and you can't even do that right.

I never claimed to endorse that view. You certainly can be downvoted for speaking truth. That's just not the case here.

Usually this is the case when you are polite and articulate but get no serious replies and only downvotes. In other words, people downvote because they can't dispute what you're saying.

When you post a snarky one-liner that ignores the question at hand in favor of some belligerent tribal attitude, that's just a low quality comment that belongs at the bottom of the thread. There's nothing to contest because there's no substance, so downvotes are the most appropriate response.

My brother in christ. I disrespect conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists equally.

No one cares about your opinions lol. How are you not getting this?

Starting to remind me a bit of a yappy dog...
