!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.

I once crossposted porn and got my ten+ year account permanently suspended. Why? Someone reported the content as revenge porn.
Mind you, I didn't upload it, but merely shared it from /porn to /blowjobs or whatever it was. I have no idea if all participants consented to the upload or not.
Entire account gone, all appeals within the month of allowed appeals automatically denied.
Posting with a new account apparently. Last time I made a reddit account I made a few comments in various subs. A few hours I went back and found that every single thing I posted was deleted without a word from the mods. I hadn't even posted anything controversial but new account = bad I guess
To be fair, this is usually a spam mitigation thing. Most places that do it have an automod that just deletes anything posted by an account less than x days / weeks old, rather than a human going through and doing it manually. It's usually in the rules of the sub
A variant is requiring a certain amount of karma for the same reason
Yea, sometime I just want a throwaway to vent on how shitty my life is, then after typing like 5 paragraphs, I click post. I get an automod saying my karma is too low.
Ugh, that shit just makes me wanna end myself even more (figuratively, of course).
Yeah it's kind of like the crisis hotline hanging up on you because your 2 minutes is up. Insultingly impersonal!
I remember commenting in a sub and getting bounced by automod because I didn't meet a karma limit. Which is fine, lots of subs have karma limits. But it felt really high- I had a couple thousand karma at the time- and the mods explicitly wouldn't tell you what the actual limit was.
So I guess you're just supposed to let automod bounce you occasionally til you manage to hit their magic number.
Yeah, some instances are the equal and opposite of voat. Just as extreme, in the opposite direction
I've had multiple comments deleted on Lemmy about the UHC shooting.
Being a tankie
Hmm maybe.
I think r/sino is still around?
Having an opinion
A tongue in cheek comment encouraging killing someone who's a danger to others.

tech-related, my account got shadow-banned because I posted an article about signalapp that included some bio of founder Moxie and some info about hacker culture
