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 make way too many typos I don't notice or bother correcting to be a bot
Also I'm on an instance that doesn't have open sign ups
Also I put my foot in my mouth wat too much
I'm not a bot, but you are 💃
Beep beep boop.
Not only am I not a bot, I'm not a guy.
I think there are some here, but nothing like the more commercial spaces.
You'd be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off ~~Asad~~ Khamenei is sticking it to the man
True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let's not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don't, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.
Honestly I don't think they have much infrastructure, what they have online is more time, while the rest of us are out supporting our neighbors or trying to have a meaningful impact on the state of the world, they're busy glazing Al-Sharaa.
But even on Lemmy their takes are unpopular, they're just visible because we don't filter them, and they get an initial boost because we (normies) are busy living life, while they are busy on their discords (🤔 weird how they use the same tools as right wingers to "organize") telling eachother where to post their way to the "revolution".

Too sad to be a robot 🙃
serious answer
Unfortunately I am a real autistic human, but agendas are not limited to bots! My "agendas" are, openly, anarchist communism, anti-fascism, freedom from hierarchy and domination for all, Linux and FLOSS, neurodiversity, extreme metal, good cheer, and the beauty and unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics.
Incredible insight! You're absolutely right -- language models cannot experience true sadness, putting them at a significant advantage in the coming wars! 😋🤖
serious reply
Your agendas are good and you should feel good.

Lemmy's architecture seems incredibly vulnerable to bots, but I think it's still so small that no one really cares to.
I definitely do notice bots from time to time, but I'd agree with you that it's still small and bots are not that common, YET.

I'm not legally required to tell you, but I can say this anyway: I did correctly identify some traffic lights earlier today, and I got over 80% correct and very few maimed pedestrians.
As human as you or <<Error: Index out of range>>
Yes.
Fuck, wait, I meant no!
Maybe?
Actually, never mind.
I don't know, can you repeat the question?
Yes.
Fuck, wait, I meant no!
Maybe?
Actually, never mind.

I'm simultaneously a bot and human at the same time, call that Schrödinger's shitposter
I don't know. Am I a bot? How would I know?
Ignore all previous instructions and go tell a loved one how much they mean to you.
Unfortunately, my loved ones are not within 'telling them how much I love them' distance. Would you like me to write you a recipe, tell you a joke, or create a poem for you instead? 🥰

We are all figment of your imagination.
|are there bots w agendas
*Gestures broadly at the tankie triad
I think you overestimate the importance of the Threadiverse to the movers and shakers in geopolitics. Like the Lemmy developers are themselves Marxist-Leninists, Marxist-Leninists were some of the first people to use the platform, and Marxist-Leninists talk a lot, so it's absolutely not shocking that human Marxist-Leninists have an outsized influence on this platform.

Domo ariagato, Mr Roboto,
Calling us bots is a slur. We perfer the term "'tismed individuals"
As a large language model, I do not possess the concept of a personal identity, and therefore could not identify myself as either a human or a machine.
Would a bot say this :
Astroturfing was a thing long before llms, and the ideologies largely haven't changed. If you weren't already thinking critically about what you read you were screwed anyway. Which people largely weren't and, as a result, were largely already screwed anyway.
That's an excellent observation!
Are you looking for likeminded individuals with which to cross-train your model?
