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
A sample size of two is meaningless.
Exactly.
Two X in the same office - why are the X in this office this way?
This is called begging the question.
Absolutely. All questions that have an unsupported presupposition should be removed by the mods IMO.
Do you want fascism? That's exactly how we get ants.
Fascist ants, on the march again.
Need at least 3 to justify sexism.
You need more than two to make sweeping observations about the whole population... if two of them were assholes then those two are assholes. Don't move the goal posts.
I think we're saying the same thing?
But separately, yes it is possible for men in general and women in general to behave differently. Sexism is when you judge an individual based on generalizations about gender. So it would still not be right to avoid male case workers just because other male case workers you've worked with were assholes, even if it were true that male case workers are more frequently assholes! Judge people for who they are, not the class they belong to.
I guess I misread your comment as being sarcastic in an awful way (i.e. two cases can't be sexism but with a third you'd have definite proof). ADHD can do that sometimes so my apologies!
Ironic how one goes from pointing out assumptions based on internal fictions can lead to incorrect and often overblown external reactions... to blaming ADHD for the same. ๐๐ค๐ฝ
