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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Sure; you can do all sorts of things. What happens as a result depends on the agreements in place between the countries involved.
The US, for example, has all sorts of Russians who have already had their day in court that they failed to show up for on international watch lists. They’ve been indicted for crimes at trial, had representation, but have never physically been in the country. But if they step foot in a country with an extradition agreement with the US, they’ll be arrested and sent to the US for sentencing.
On the other hand, Sweden requires you to be physically present and able to acknowledge the charges against you before any proceedings can occur.
Which is why Julian Assange was holed up in that embassy for so long, to avoid heading to Sweden to face charges.
Indictment is not a conviction, or trial.
it's the process of formally charging someone with a crime- for example, a grand jury trial is not a "trial" in the sense that guilt is determined- evidence is provided by a prosecutor to a jury panel and they determine if there's probable cause to go forward with the criminal trial. And your lawyer or representation isn't even present for that.
once you're indicted, warrants will be sent out for your arrest so you can be formally arraigned and the process continues. but if you're out of the country, that'll wait until you come into the country.
