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
I think some people who haven't left yet do want to leave, but some are ready for the fediverse and others aren't due to it not being at a stage that feels polished and straightforward to use. For those I think squabbles is an alternative since while it's destined for the same fate that has met past social media companies at least it's an effort to move from the current established corporate juggernaut of community based social media.
So I think more options need to be given aside from just fediverse until that is so easy anyone can use it without thought. Otherwise they'll have to go back to reddit if they can't get used to it. Which is the sense I got from people who have been using squabbles and started using it over reddit.
What I meant is, most people haven't even really looked into using something other than reddit, because they still can.
Hence, there will be another wave, when they cannot.
My belief is that people who continue to use reddit normally don't really care strongly enough to leave. They are only upset about the third party apps, but not enough to quit reddit. They don't care about wanting a decentralized internet and having a platform for the people by the people. Even the use of the official app isn't even concerns of the permissions that could extract lot of additional data to build a more accurate profile of users to resell to marketers. I believe for them the outrage will pass. In the end they want to keep using reddit and aren't looking to leave. It's just noise in the outrage, but not an actual willingness to follow through.
So you're saying, of ALL the people who will move only when pushed my the third party apps ceasing their function, NONE will end up here?
There will be NO wave. At all?
It won't literally be none. That would be a really amazing absolute to see happen.
Then what are we disagreeing on?
I wasn't aware we were disagreeing.
Your first reply to me questioned my supposition that the shutting down of the 3PAs would lead users to lemmy. Any users. You suggest that users who would use lemmy are already doing so.
So yes?
It's felt more like series of questions than disagreeing at least to me. Like an interview. Anyways good talk.
