!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:
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.

People actually use that stupid chat feature? I thought it was just there for bots to send spam.
I have no idea if there was a native setting to disable it or if it was RES's doing but I completely forgot chat even existed.
So did Reddit, apparently. There's now two chat functions, "Legacy chat", and their new "Chat".
Why they need that many remains a mystery, considering that they had a perfectly good messaging system before, that hasn't been superseded by anything yet.
Wasn’t even aware of this feature, hadn’t noticed - I’m also 100% off of that shit hole so I suppose that makes sense
Even ones that have been dead for years
"I am happy to announce that Robin Williams is indeed alive and well. We've been arguing about which Linux distro is better for the past few hours."
Wait reddit has chat groups? I didn't even know that was a think
I've never used anything other than old.reddit though so maybe that's why
Such a poorly designed feature if large swaths of the site aren't even aware of its existence.
And such transparently astroturfed activity spike in a feature that no one was using... until suddenly now.
This is sad.
I did notice the few weeks before the blackout that I was getting several invites to message/chat a day, I shut that down.
Yeah, there were loads of complaints in May and June that people with popular comments on r/all threads were getting pinged multiple times/day with requests.
Bots are running wild thanks to the api changes and the loss of pushift. It's a feature, not a bug.
No.
