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
try this instead. When someone insults you or says something to make you angry, reply with something sickeningly sweet and loving. Trust me. It's a powerful weapon. kill them with kindness.
Use any of these:
I love you ❤️
You are loved.
Have a blissful day.
More often than not it has the effect of silencing them because it neutralizes their vitriol like pouring water on a fire.
Personally I'm not a fan of this approach because you don't really believe what you're saying to them, it's more just being passive-aggressive/sarcastic.
My preferred approach is to try to understand someone's position and trying to wrap my head around the fundamental disagreement between us. That's assuming of course that I'm in the right headspace; I'm not immune to getting caught up in online toxicity.
Do you have any proof of this or is it just something you want to believe is true? Because honestly I find it hard to believe.
Yes I've been that person before. And I've ended internet arguments with it from the other end as well. I've seen it work. And I've felt it work.
granted it's not always successful, and if you hate it so much then it probably won't work coming from either end for you, so whatever.
it sounds so stupid and the first time I did it I felt a little silly, but doing this really works. anyone who is angry with you (without a good reason at least) has no idea how to respond given genuine kindness in response to an attack. plus it's nice to be a positive voice in the world, and I'm sure many people who are angry on the internet could benefit from being told that they matter and are loved :)
Also, try sending some flowers.

Because all internet strangers know each other's home addresses.
There’s no place like 127.0.0.1
That or mailbombs.
