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.

Okay, you have to see this in the context of QAnon conspiracy, that is injected into mainstream MAGA. Remember that guy going into a pizzaria to save children that werent there. Well according to conspiracy the ruling elites are child abusers, from sexual to ritualistic sacrifices. The Epstein files are for many a large list of people that are in this elite group. MAGA ran hard with it, Trump ran with it. It was specifically mentioned time and time again. So a very large part of the conservative voterbase are convinced that Trump, to drain the swamp, would release the list. All elites would get rounded up, convicted, and we would be free from the grip of the ruling elites.
Trump is on the list.
So there has been an extremely hard pivot by MAGA, down playing it, burying it, etc. Trying very hard to keep this under wraps.
It's not that Trump cares much about the voter base, as long as there is a devout little group to do the dirty work. He isn't going to give up his presidency either way. But it's annoying for him. He has done so much shit, why talk about some shit that happened ages ago. Trump doesn't understand why this is bad for him, neither does he care.
We should care. a. there are victims. b. its a disaster for the dictator.
