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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What is the point of this hostility? Do you not get the point of this community?

Op is a registered nurse as they have said several times in other posts and should know why this happens. If they don't know why perhaps they should do some continuing education to update their medical knowledge.

If you have been through my other posts then I have repeatedly said I ask questions for engagement and productive discourse. Is it really that rare that people strike up a question to get a conversation going on? Without negativity? That's why if you type into google: how hard is it to strike up a civilized discussion on the internet? the answer is surprisingly hard, but possible. I try to go for the latter.

I don't know if I enjoy your questions to raise engagement strategy, but don't stop just because of me. If I decide I don't enjoy it, at worst I'll simply block you and hope you continue to succeed with whatever you're hoping to achieve.

That's cool though I am always open to criticism, that way I can better myself. I am working on not posting bloated questions where I run out of space. As long as I can keep a community active and interest flowing I am game. My thing is just I would like stuff to get going where we are at least half way to give reddit a run for it's money. Now I will say it sometimes irk's me that I was bounced for being a bot and upsetting some subs. Because it's kinda like the Alan Turing test prove to me your not a robot stuff. Much love to you mate.

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.

[–] rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that person misrepresents themselves, maybe it's a bot

[–] Patnou@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh my god you from reddit? I got banned from there for posting so much. Hell I even asked the admins here a couple days in and they said that if I am a bot, I am the best one the internet has seen.
