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.

A lot more sexist
I haven't seen this. Are there specific communities you are thinking of?
Me either but as a CIS Het dude, I may be unlikely to notice it. Can anyone tell me more? Serious question, want to be part of the solution here.
Honestly it's mostly the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that I was thinking of last night when I commented. The incel shit, I can deal with. But it's the casual objectification, as well as the diminishing of anything outside of a woman's appearance that I find exhausting.
Less out-and-out manosphere garbage than on Reddit, but man oh man have I seen some real incel adjacent shit pop up from time to time on asklemmy and nostupidquestions.
And they stay up too, because we’re too small to moderate effectively around the clock.
The manosphere shit actually doesn't bother me as much as the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that just make me feel completely valueless and like nothing will ever change.
Right? Just the other day some idiot posted a “my wife sucks” meme, and they were all very upset I pointed them to c/arethestraightsok.
Time to leave this shit behind.
I've been here for 3 months and i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Well other than a serious amount of tankies. Might i say it's almost like your making shit up. Can you provide a sauce?
Edit: still no source you like shit stiring don't you uWu
