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.

MODERATORS
 

I originally signed up for lemmy about six months ago due to becoming outraged over reddit's continual coddling of hard right and fascist powermods that use their authority to harass.

It was good here at lemmy.world for a long while until I started getting harassed by a 12 day old right leaning mod in /politics.

I posted a thread here about what to do and even got back a response from the site operator.

Which was shortly followed by a PM my thekingoflorida (the site operator) scolding me and threatening action for calling out the mods bad behavior in threads.

Reading the wind I realized lemmy.world is heading down the shitshow path that so many other online social forums have become and immediately deleted my account.

@thekingoflorida I do not want you to respond, I don't care about your opinion, and if the fucking software would let me block you, I would have already.

So in short, I'm looking for a lemmy instance that has zero right wing users with admins that actually want to keep right wing forum manipulation off of their platform. I don't care about 'the marketplace of ideas' or fairness in speech that tries to give space to fascist rhetoric in the guise of equality.

EVERY time they worm their ways in and have admin support, it ALWAYS railroads into what ruined reddit. And I'm tired of these shitstains ruining communities that I enjoy.

So, TL;DR: I'm looking for a lemmy instance with ZERO tolerance for anything right of Bill Clinton.

If you don't want drama, you probably shouldn't be calling people out by name.

the communist tankie ones are lemmygrad and hexbear and to a significantly lesser extent lemmy.ml. I consider hexbear super authoritarian tankies and not really abiding by the socialist ideology most of the time.

Someone else mentioned Beehaw which is an instance that is all about being polite. Iirc they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Your username is fuck lemmy, pretty agro stance to start imo. Best of luck

Mmm? I don’t remember ever scolding someone. If you feel like I did that was probably me being Dutch. Could you specify what I said that made you angry?

[–] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Okay, so I read through some of the replies and I think I know what exchange you are referring to (not gonna doxx your ofcourse). I was honestly trying to ascertain if that mod had abused their power. You spammed the accusation through different communities, which is against the rules. I removed those comments, but I was still trying to work with you to investigate that particular mod.

[–] bradboimler@startrek.website 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Notice how the won’t engage with you at all because the are clearly in the wrong someone hurt their feelings so the broke every rule on the instance throwing a tantrum and are surprised when the get repercussions for it.

Sounds to me like the instance you're looking for is Blahaj Lemmy over at lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Someone point this man to a soap opera instance, stat!

[–] lqdrchrd@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

lemmy.blahaj.zone sounds like a good fit for you. It’s an instance predominately set up as a refuge for trans people, but accepts anyone respectful. The admins defederate from anything offensive which keeps it a safe place for people who need it. I’m not trans but basically signed up here because I feel the same as you, I come here to unwind before bed and want to avoid inflammatory shit. It’s a great little community.

I don't know shit about kingoflorida but I'm currently stuck in this neo fascist state and I sure as hell am doing what I can to fix it.... consider my vote his anti vote!

Edit: One day folks will learn that tolerance cannot include intolerance.... intolerance will spread like cancer and choke the life out of freedom.

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 3 points 5 months ago

Tolerance was and remains a peace treaty: you be tolerant, and we'll tolerate you. Once someone opts to break the treaty, they receive no further protection from it.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (12 children)

Try Hexbear, I think you'd be a good fit.

[–] Fuck_Lemmy@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Hexbear

After one look at their community list, hell FUCK no.

Just because I don't want to deal with magapedes doesn't mean I'm a tankie

I want to give my side of the story.

I removed one of person's comment on the political community because it was reported, from what I can recall, it was a very long, borderline QAnon level rant that was antagonizing other users for essentially not buying into their conspiracy theory, which we took very seriously here.

This person was not even banned, and the modlog can confirm that.

I have had literally zero interaction with this person in any form other than this single comment removal. I have never sent this person a single DM or reply, and I think our admins can confirm that.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw 4 already removed reply to my comments from this person, and it appears that this person has already purged their own account.

Do you have example of right winged posts on Lemmy. ?

I sometimes have the impression that the Fediverse political diversity goes from Soft social-democrat who are ready to make a deal with liberals, like accepting that billionaire can own companies if union are powerful enough to hard-liner Marxist who thing that we should nationalize the mean of production, jails the billionaire, and implement a maximum salary, and that the political debate is more We all agree that Climate change, social issues and societal issues are important However, in a democratic system we cannot do everything at the same time so by which one do we start ?

But basically, It's hard to find, Liberals supporting free market, and thinking that Von der Leyen manages the EU properly. If you remove a few tankies who think that Putin, Orbàn, and Erdogan are nice guys, there isn't much support for right wing government and policies. I am glad to not have all the right winger from reddit, but feel like it's a bit too skewed.
