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.

It really isn't.
I asked 'What are some left leaning lemmy instances'
You answered: Don't make drama.
And now you are pretending you provided an answer.
I don't care about conflict, I care about right wing activist mods using their power to harass and shape conversation.
Your post was more detailed than just 'show me a list of left leaning Lemmy instances'.. because you could self serve that with https://lemmyverse.net/
How I read your post:
I used to like it here, but then people started making drama with me, then the admin started making drama with me. I want to find an instance where there won't be any drama, tell me where I can go to a place where nobody will disagree with me.
Start your own private instance and federate with no one. Nobody will disagree with you.
Meme answers should be an immediate ban, but it won't be
Offense usernames, namecalling or harassing volunteers who tried to help you could be an immediate ban also but here you are.
Do you agree with @[email protected] posting the conversation you had with him in this thread so people know what it is about?
My original account name was an overwatch reference, I made this username in a protest of frustration.
Post whatever the fuck you want it's not my instance apparently, because my instance would have 100% less fashy mods and admins that coddle them.
Ok Moira_Mayhem.
@[email protected] you can post the chat here.
A valid solution isn't a meme answer you dunce
This was a meme? Which one?
I hear there's a site called read it that will cater to those needs if he's curious
If you can only win arguments with strawmen, are you even winning at all?
Asks the person, telling me I'm arguing when all I did was make a shitty joke in reply to something someone else said as a strawman comment?
Yes. Yes I am.
people like you are the reason I left reddit
No, people like the mods you mentioned are why. I didn't do shit but make a crappy joke to someone else. But you're clearly scanning your own post for more comments to try to argue why you're right and we're wrong. You were even given honest and well intentioned replies which you replied to by being a jerk as if everyone else in this discussion scoured the comments before making the suggestion. People like you are why you left Reddit. You are bitching about people doing what you're doing, you just want to be the one to do it with no objections.
Considering I thanked the two people that offered actual suggestions, and everyone else is just meming and joking, your reply is largely just you mentally masturbating.
I've seen this pattern so many times before that it is pretty clear where your position and ideology lies.
My original comment was a joke you dunce. And it wasn't even to you but you managed to "mentally masturbate" to your own post to the point you're arguing with people who never engaged you to begin with.
He obviously doesn't take anything that isn't immediate agreement with everything he has to say in any context well.
I have a hunch that he may start calling you a russian bot soon, based on the timing of the tantrum he's throwing about moderation.
Plenty of comedy communities on lemmy.world, why troll a place for people just looking for answers?
Do you ever even once consider how your low effort casual comments shape communities?
Never heard of that site before so your assumption is pretty unwarranted.
Only 2 sites show up with the 'leftist' tag, one is for tankies and the other is for people in the midwest. I am neither of these.
I'm not responsible for your baises or reading comprehension issues. I asked a question, gave the reason why I was asking it, and you chose to go off on an unrelated tangent about drama. And for some reason the mods seem to think that Rule 8 doesn't apply to you.
I appreciate you giving context for your question, that allowed us to have a richer discourse about making you happy in the long term.
The reason context is important, is so that we can see the meta question around the actual question.
As far as the rule 8 relevancy discussion goes, I believe every one of my comments here has been a good faith and attempt to be extremely relevant to your concern. We can disagree about that, but I don't wish you to be moderated out of the discussion
Your initial reply wasn't even close to an attempt to answer my question, pretend to be civil all you want I know what your kind is like.
Yes and that was exactly the form of site operator supported harassment took, so I don't want to participate in a lemmy instance that has a site operator with a willingness to support right wing activist mods.
In 2015 when reddit was gearing up for its great fascist expansion, I saw these signs and called them out to mods, users, and admins, and UNIVERSALLY the response was quite similar to yours: 'why are you causing drama?'
Now look what that fucking site is like.
And for some reason you are confused why me finding that lemmy.world is rapidly heading in that direction already would be frustrating.
Look, thanks for the list to the lemmyverse search, but other than that my time with you has been a sad waste of electrons. You just forwarded the heat death of the universe by a tiny increment with your non-answer.
Beehaw... they're practically a separate platform at this point. A left oriented oriented echo chaimber if you will.
Literally the second reply already stated this without your obvious magabias creeping in.
You are jumping at shadows something fierce.
