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
It's really hard to tell, without living in your area, and knowing where they will debate. I'd say thats the first stop, is any debate they have. If they have no party, and have no debates, and have no info online, then it almost seems like it's intentionally confusing.
If I were running for government, I'd be on the mountain tops yelling my positions. I'd be at every debate.
I'd be on your streets, figuring out what to do. Talking with the people. Seeing what public opinion is. Finding out where the local problems are.
If none of that is happening, I would write to both your candidates by hand delivered usps mail, asking why their motivation is to encourage voter apathy.
If I don't know, and can't figure out who you are, or what you stand for, or what your beliefs are, why the hell am I voting for you??? It's the same reason I shoot down the idea that Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson should be president. I have no idea what his beliefs or stance on anything is. Part of that is the fact that he's not a politician, nor has he ever hinted at it to my knowledge. He has no reason to state his political standings, and that's fine. He's NOT on any ballot. If people write him in, it was never his responsibility to live up to their expectations. Yet, I still people online saying him, and snoop dogg.
THEY don't have any responsibility to tell you their beliefs, as despite being celebrities they are still just average citizens.......but actively running local politicians do. If they can't tell you what their vision for their terms in office are, then what the hell are you even voting for? May as well just post pictures of your pets and get votes for cute dogs, but /c/aww exists for that.
