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.

Google provides search results for everything under the sun, legal or not. AWS is used by real terrorists. Microsoft Azure is used in genocides. Palantir is used to prop up the surveillance state. Meta advertises child porn. X is providing communication services for far right groups. I do not see them being designated a terrorist group - providing infrastructure for communication is not the same as being a terrorist.
This designation is not one of "you are harming people". It is based on "You think the wrong way and therefore you are our enemy". If you can't differentiate that, you are either brainwashed or a fascist yourself. Be ashamed, if you are even able to.
Incorrect. Certain entries can be delisted. Google is e.g. using https://lumendatabase.org/ for that.
I have no idea what this discussion has to do with e. g. Planatir as they don't provide hosted services to users.
To stay on the topic: non of these services explicitly allow or endorse terroristic content on their platform.
Such nice words. If everyone is a facist nobody is.
By default they list everything. You can contact them and remove stuff, but by default all the smut, trash and bullshit of the web gets indexed. A/I would remove illegal content too, but this wasn't even tried. Don't deflect.
Palantir provides infrastructure, same as the others. They fit well, especially when viewed from the perspective of who you are allowed to provide services to on basis of ideology.
A/I also do not explicitly allow or endorse terroristic content. They provide infrastructure for communication to people, same as any other hoster or mail provider. Only difference is their antifascistic stance and that they have been repeatedly the target of repressive actions.
And no, only the people who attack antifascist infrastructure based on the words of a nazi government - You know, the currrent US administration - are fascists or fascist bootlickers. Need examples?
I could go on far longer, but i do not want to waste more time at you. If you are just a brainwashed, lost soul, stop watching the crap Youtube and Meta are throwing in your face, you are too easily influenced to discern the difference between neonazi propaganda and reality. If you are a true believer in that shit, my condolences go to the part of your family that doesn't want to have contact with you anymore (probably your kids and ex-wife), and the rest of what i would put here is intentionally self-censored, but you will probably get the gist.
Im not going to read that schizophrenic manifesto. Learn how to communicate properly with people and don't tell me that a certain US president lives in your walls and there are Nazis on the moon.
Have a nice day.
Lol, an illiterate fascist! You are truly part of the greatest race of all.
For everyone else, i will provide Sartre again:
And now we have arrived at the last sentence with this guy:
this condescending cringy language is why they hate us
They hate us because they are fascists and hate is their core concept. And we've seen how much of a fuck they give when we try to converse with them on equal ground over the last decades. Never forget what Sartre said:
Discourse with a fascist is useless in the vast majority of cases. What isn't useless is to show the inhumanity, selectivity and selfishness of their language when shown in a public forum. Note how they started acting after Walz started naming these people "weird". They don't cope well with being shown to be what they really are. Chastising them for being inhuman drekheads and naming things as they are is not "cringy", it is an imperative.
Ok so everyone is a facist in your opinion... and therefore discussion with everyone is useless.
Idk but that sounds like you have schizophrenia to me.
I am talking about that discourse with fascist is, indeed, useless - your reply just underscored Sartres words perfecty. Thanks for that.
there is a legal procedure that should happen then, not an immediate takedown! trump's puppets should contact the Italian authorities, get court approval to request data, if they don't comply then get the court to seize hardware, or whatever else they do before that. did any of that happen here?
No, it didn't, because A/I hasn't broken any laws, just as google doesn't break any law when indexing neonazi propaganda that is illegal in germany. A/I has been under legal attack more than once, and it is very obvious that it didn't work, because nothing they do is illegal.
Designating someone as a terrorist in a country where the law and justice mean something should need a previous sentencing for a crime that gives a legal basis for such a designation (aka planning or executing attacks, murders, blackmail, you know, the stuff the current US administration is very guilty of). This designation is the equivalent to sentencing someone to life in prison without any legal defense; the US executive took the place of Jury, Judge and Executioner all at once.
