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
Getting banned from Lemmy is orders of magnitude easier. During my 10+ years on reddit I can only remember one occasion when I got banned from a sub but it has happened on Lemmy multiple times over the 1.5 years I've been here and comments being removed is a regular thing.
On reddit you need to actually break the rules. On Lemmy it's enough that a mod doesn't like what you're saying.
On Reddit I got banned from subs I'd never posted in for participating in other subs. The content of my posts didn't even matter.
And the sub doesn’t even have to be related. I got banned from commenting in r/thatsinsane for a comment in r/karma4u, can’t even remember commenting there.
If Reddit implemented proper blocking, it wouldn't be a problem.
The quantity of fuckheads who kept brigading from their cesspool into a regular subreddit was infuriating.
I got banned twice on reddit just because my account was new. So I figured "f reddit" if that's how they treat new people.
At least here there is a public modlog.
Which I think is fascinating. On Reddit, I'd get a post removed with a mail that says something extremely vague. Zero transparency.
Now you get extremely vague mod logs instead 🤷
What Reddit were you on? Many subs especially leftist learning ones would ban you even if you just subbed to a sub they didn’t like
I think those "leftist" subs are more like tankie subs
Feel free to report power tripping on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Getting banned doesn’t really have the same impact. In both cases, you can still register with a new email, but on Lemmy, you can also choose a different instance.
