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.

They're inherently louder. But they're not always inherently loud. There's a lot of different switch types, and some are loud on purpose. So if you get a keyboard with blue switches they're going to be loud because they're specifically intended to be both tactile(you feel a 'bump' when the key activates) and loud (you hear a click when the key activates). I had an internet buddy with blue switches, and the whole fucking chat knew when he was typing because his mic picked it up.
Personally I like tactile keys, but I absolutely hate loud keyboards. So I have brown switches- they have the tactile 'bump' that I like the feel of, but they're not obnoxiously loud.
You can also go with red switches, and those are just straight up-down switches. No bump, no click. They're generally the quietest common switch, especially if you're not whaling on them. There's roughly a billion other types of switch, as well. It's not just blues, browns, and reds. There's even "silent" switches. I have zero experience with those, though, so no idea how silent they actually get.
Note: I'm not crazy into mechanical keyboards. I just did a bit of research before I bought one awhile back. So... grain of salt and all.
