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.

Because you are not giving us enough info to work with.
Imagine you going to a book store and being the clerk in this scenario
Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book. Clerk: Ok, what is the text you are looking for.
Cust: I don't want to tell you.
Clerk: ok, what book is it from?
Cust: I can't say.
You are being that customer right now. You need to help us help you.
Since your example isn't accurate, I'll modify it to make a more apt analogy.
Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book.
Clerk: Ok, what is the book you are looking for.
Cust: It's called "Ancient Unholy Incantations"
Clerk: oh, why do you want that book? Why why why?
Cust: I can't really say because it's various things I can't really remember.
Clerk: Tell me! Or else I can't help. I physically can't. It's not that I don't want to because I don't believe your intentions are good and need convincing. Something... would prevent me from doing so.
Cust: Ok well it's sort of for a lot of different purposes, like just random stuff, maybe for making my dog happy, or for helping grow my garden.
Clerk: No, no, tell me more! What is it? You haven't given me enough information. I can't help you!
Cust: Are you sure it's not just that you don't want to because you assume my intentions are bad?
Clerk: You are alt-right!!!
I thought you said cunt, lol.
Sorry I've kind of given up trying to get people to believe me or help me.
There's no reason you can't theoretically provide a text character that allows to bypass random YouTube comments deletion, unless you don't want to.
And like I said, it's lots of random comments. I could say something like "Honda is the best car" and it gets deleted. Or, "Wow this guy must be taking creatine". I'm using random examples because that's what it is. Literally just random stuff.
Maybe you'll empathise, maybe not. Be sure to downvote my comment though ;)
The reason is easy. There is no text character that bypasses the non-random deletion by channel admins. If you post enough shit, they'll put you on the banlist of their 3rd party automod bots. Every time you post anything while you are on their banlist, your comments will be automatically deleted.
And guess what: many channel admins actually share their banlists. So you aren't on only one channel's banlist, but on many.
Post less conspiracy shit, and you won't get banned.
Your Google account is worthless on Youtube now.
And again you're assuming I'm posting "conspiracy shit" and leaving no room for the possibility that YouTube's comment deletion system is completely broken in some cases. There's no reason to remove the completely normal harmless comments I'm posting. Having this much faith in technology and AI to do its job properly is really concerning more than anything tbh.
It's not channel specific at all. I know creators personally who have said they're not doing anything to my comments and they have no idea why my comments get removed.
