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.

But that's what people say about bosses. You don't like this one, go get a different one. I'm not understanding the difference in terms of hierarchy and power and so on.

If you don't understand the difference between a boss and a tradesman that you called, then I'm out. Either you're too dense to understand, which would make explaining a waste of time, OR you're just sealioning, as i suspect, which would make explaining a waste of time.

Okay. Maybe someone else can explain.

I believe most anarchists are against unjustifiable hierarchies.

If you want to consider the dynamic between a tradesman and their customer as a hierarchy, it's justifiable because it's one person who is an expert in their trade, working on that trade for something in return. Both parties have consented to this temporary "hierarchy" in order for both parties to receive their desired outcomes.

Now if we want to talk about HOAs... Add them, and their ability to come in and say, "you can't use that color paint," and you now have a completely unjustifiable (imo) hierarchy.

That makes sense. Is there some way to determine what is justified and what's not?

Sorry for the delay, I tend to neglect my comment reply notices...

I believe I said in another comment in this thread that I recommend reading, "Anarchism and other Essays" by Emma Goldman, and, "The Conquest of Bread," by Piotr Kropotkin.

"Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution" by Kropotkin is also very good.

I know that theory can be boring, but I've found both Kropotkin and Goldman to be very compelling reads... Just make sure you have a pencil or highlighter ready, because so much shit hits home
