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.

Should I Go Back to Reddit? (iusearchlinux.fyi)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/nostupidquestions
 

I never liked Reddit. I used to only use it for an hour or less a day to follow tech and IT communities.

But now, after the blackout, I can't leave Lemmy. I'm on it about 5-6 hours a day to find communities, read news about Reddit blackout and Lemmy's future. I think going back to Reddit will be good for me. It will take less of my time, especially after a lot of people quit Reddit.


Edit: Thank you for your nice answers and advice. I think all the good people of Reddit are here at Lemmy and kbin.

Ultimately, that's up to you to decide ofc.

Personally, spez's decisions have turned me off of it entirely and I've decided to hard close that door. I'm not going back. I've had more fun on kbin in the ~24 hours I've been here than I ever did on reddit, and I can feel better about where I'm putting my time, energy, and engagement.

Same. I needed to get off Reddit anyway, the content has been a slow downward slide for a long time and I’ve been spending way too much time reading inane comments from teenagers…

I know what you mean. There’s nothing wrong with being young, of course, but I really cut back on my interaction on Reddit when I realized a while back just how many people there are teenagers or in their early twenties.

Even if they’re not actually trolling, there’s an awful lot of attitude motivated by ignorance. It got really frustrating being downvoted for simply explaining some actual verifiable fact about the early development of JavaScript.

Basically when posting on Reddit for last year or so my inbox is just people queuing up to tell me I am wrong. It is not good. only a couple of niche subs seems worth it.
