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.

I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

Don't use a Lemmy feature to add context to my comment? I specifically tagged and addressed you directly instead of getting into your myriad of arguments across multiple posts.

What people are posting and linking isn't "unproven". They're factual events that took place and their opinion on the matter which you seem to have a problem with both.

Do you think the assassination being faked is proven fact? I think even most people who think it was faked wouldn't go this far

I'm not surprised they didn't answer. These people haven't thought anything they're believing right now through, and it's honestly eye opening. The number of people on the left who are wack jobs is quite a lot higher than I realized a couple of days ago.

This reads like a spoiled child or an adult looking for immediate validation online. Not all of us want/need to be terminally on Lemmy like you've chosen for yourself, others have hobbies, responsibilities, and interests outside of the fediverse. Even having near 1k comments myself makes me cringe thinking about all the time I could've been doing something else. Everyone doesn't need to hear every thought vomited out in a comment, nor would this space miss one less person who adds nothing to the conversation but hostility like your mod report shows with so many bans.

And this reads like you have a strong false sense of superiority. No one cares how you perceive their use of the internet.

Also - I am totally shocked you continued to avoid the question but replied here with nothing but judgement. Absolutely shocked! It totally is not related to the fact that you know it's idiotic to be sure that this conspiracy theory is "proven".

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nah, you just have an abysmal reading comprehension and can't understand the original comment

What people are posting and linking isn’t “unproven”. They’re factual events that took place and their opinion on the matter which you seem to have a problem with both.

I'll go really slow for you.... the facts.... that people are speculating with.... have been shown with sources. Some opinions.... are that it looks suspicious.... and wouldn't be surprised.... if the administration performed a false flag.

Have a good one man, not worth continuing to communicate with someone that plenty of others have given up on.

They asked if you believed it was proven and you intentionally ignored them. But yeah it's that I'm too stupid to read.

Re-reading your comments, I see now that you're not just spreading conspiracy theories on the internet, you're actively being toxic on purpose. Otherwise you would've answered the other person's question instead of spending your precious time here trying to make me feel bad. So you're now blocked, don't bother with more shame-whining.

A sad consequence of them retreating to spaces like Lemmy and Bluesky and cocooning themselves from any dissenting opinion.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago

You specifically summoned people here to argue with. No one believes that you took the time to @ us because that somehow was helpful to anyone unless they too were looking to argue.
