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.

"IF you want something done RIGHT, THEN you do it yourself!"
that is nearly-right.
the true essence is that if you want something done right, you have to have the right instinct doing it.
Delegation is entirely-possible, but it cannot be delegation to anybody, any institution, any ANYthing, that has wrong-instinct, for that work.
You can't put dogs in charge of protecting cat-nature, because they'll "protect" it, instead, displacing/snuffing it, replacing it with dog-nature.
That is natural, & automatic.
You can't have men protecting female-validity, because female-validity ISN'T OF men, it is of women!
You can't have people tone-deaf protecting ( preserving through mastering & playing ) music, can you?
You can't have people who don't know, understand, or value, precision, protecting precision, can you?
That's the same in government, business, NGO's, legislation, regulation, innovation, etc.
IF you want integrity, THEN integrity has to be the instinct which wins the roles.
Politics is the wrong selector, the wrong contest, to produce that result.
We're seeing our world drowning in the consequences of letting political-game rule our world.
Political-game is the enemy of our lives.
Against most lives, it will win.
