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.

He's actually a nice enough guy, but he has a rose-colored glasses when it comes to China and the CPC. As someone who worked at China Daily, I assumed he works for state media! He said he doesn't but he hoped to go to China someday.
Given how often he posts, I'm a little concerned about his mental health, but maybe this is what keeps him sane. Better than shooting people in a mall, that's for sure!
I'd actually like to meet the guy and have a cup of coffee
not if their comment history is anything to go by— insulting, hostile, and combative comments, many of which are heavily-downvoted (except on lemmgrad.ml, which is an echo-chamber for tankies).
I don't think many people engage with him in a way that doesn't force him to be defensive. He's like a dog that's never been petted properly, only receives shouts and whacks on the head. I engaged with him earnestly and he was suspicious. Eventually I got him to let his guard down a little and he interacted amicably.
Again, I do worry about his mental health. Then again, I worry about mine
Maybe you should keep your guard up instead of going around asking for "porn instances" and complaining about Asian countries 24/7 lmfao.

lmfao
How very sweet and empathetic of you. Really. And you’re probably right, to some extent.
Regardless, it’s really no excuse for their behavior.
Yeah, I can be an asshole online sometimes but he can reach another level. I guess you just gotta laugh at the situation: a guy passionately simping for a foreign government of a country he's never visited. 😂
I look forward to seeing you develop an inferiority complex around my posts as well
how sad. it’s been 2 weeks, and you let something like this still bother you. clearly, I’m not the one with the “complex"
what a weird response. I'm doing post necromancy?? who cares. 💀 Someone linked me to this. I "came out of nowhere", like everyone does on the internet.
your psychobabble is corrosive to the fediverse and is repugnant to me & anyone who cares about freedom of information.
yogthos & SeventyTwoTrillion & other power-posters are like "seeders" on a torrent, whereas you are a "leecher" on a torrent. people like them are the lifeblood of niche platforms like lemmy. they are self-curating content aggregation machines. instead of trying to muzzle people you disagree with because engaging with them went south, disengage and post something contrary. you are trying to bring friction and conflict to lemmy.
you may as well be paid by Zuckerberg or Google to be here to destroy an open source project.
interesting rationalization for your toxic, rage-bait ramblings. I recommend you consult a medical professional, as they would be better-equipped to help you with your… problems…
best of luck!
what you're participating in rn, this conversation with me, this is the magic right here baby. we could engage in a dialectic with milliseconds delay. what you call toxicity and want to shut down is the magic of free speech you claim to defend ☝️🤓
being in your head sounds scary and sad.
uh oh looks like the trekkie redditor is tongue tied. is this how you engaged with yogthos? i guess he was able to run circles around you, and you called him mentally ill & said "mucho texto". you're basically a paid troll following a flow chart for disruption
I feel bad for you that this is how you have to spend your time, so full of anger and hate.
sad
what exactly about what i wrote is angry or hateful??? are you okay??? 😂
take a deep breath. count to ten. it's okay, if you don't have a constructive reply, walk away from the computer for a bit. there's no time limit. i happen to have a job where i'm on my phone a lot & text my boss about all the catering stuff. i have an unfair advantage over you.
ask yourself why you are here in this thread doing the two minutes hate about a guy who posts about the development of mid & low-income countries outside NATO. what's wrong in your life? i'm correcting your nasty antisocial behavior right now 🙅♂️
yawn
lmao just because you don't care about the lemmy platform and want to pursue your selfish grudge at its expense doesn't mean my arguments are in bad faith.
you need to reassure yourself that if you really tried to respond to me, you'd say something intelligent, but you're too dainty to lower yourself to it. 😅 are you even fooling yourself with this?
also urban dictionary? really? 🤣
you’re clearly going through some serious emotional stuff, and it’s sad to watch.
every comment from you is a bad faith attempt to frame what you are replying to negatively, without arguments.
it's not that you demonize other users on the platform. their emotions are "clear" to you because you're such an empath! 🥴
how many keyboards have you broken today? this week? this month? game controllers? computer mice? how smashed-up is your phone?
I’d ask about physically abusing spouses, but hehehe… who would ever get near a toxic rage monster like you? at least others are probably safe!
your creative writing gets an F from me. I do admire the candid nature of responding to being accused of bad faith behavior with "you beat your wife hehehe". 🤨 very mature dude
says the guy who’s been throwing a little-by tantrum for the past couple of hours.
of all the things I actually did say, you just can’t control yourself and the compulsive lying… fascinating.
at least you have the decency to be ashamed of your pitiful remark btw. shape up
seeing things that aren’t there isn’t healthy, dude. consult a physician. although I am supposed you know what “shame” is. should we call that growth?
uh oh, your hands are shaking with rage & spittle is getting all over your phone. i'd better block you for your own mental health. enjoy your heart attack at 30
wow, you saw an autocomplete typo and went right of the rails. if this is what you fantasize about, I’m clearly not that one with precarious mental health, lol.
edit: I fixed the typo since it triggered you so badly. hope you feel better soon!
toxic? rage bait? unless you're continuing with your schizoid delusion that everyone who happens to like Yogthos's posts is a paid government shill or the man himself, you must mean the above replies? 😂
everything I've sent to you is nothing of the sort. i guess you're such a thin-skinned individual that being corrected on your snickering goblin mode behavior is just too much without breaking a sweat. being wrong is good. it's a chance to learn. the sad thing is illiteracy, darkness, censorship.
you should go on Weibo and see the "censorship" taking place - in 2021 a blogger got a case brought against multinational company Lenovo by the government just by posting about it. the western social media China is blocking is what we're using Lemmy to get away from, you dunce. those are the toxic rage bait platforms full of hatred! they were right to block western social media like Twitter after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2009_%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi_riots was organized on there. fundamentalists who hated the indigenous turkic chinese muslims beat over a hundred people to death!
is that the kind of thing that should be protected by any free speech law in the world? nobody thinks that lmao. besides they can use a vpn easily
your flippant statements about chinese censorship are hypocritical on a platform which is a refuge from the west's digital hegemony of lies, censorship & hatred. they ban venezuelans, haitians, nigeriens en masse without reason. you'd be welcome on weibo if you could keep your own toxicity down & learn a damn language haha
Following up... I think the guy is so disillusioned and angry at his own country (rightfully so, IMO) that he romanticizes China as the only viable alternative.
Any hole in that balloon threatens his sanity. I honestly feel bad for the guy. He's probably not well... I wonder what he's like IRL
Also... I may not be well. I'm speculating about an internet stranger.
I like how you guys think that him posting a lot of informative links is a sign of mental illness.
But stalking his account, trying to "get his guard down", and fantasizing about him in a nasty, passive aggressive, parasocial way, that's all normal and good for you.
Are you sure you're not a little addicted to propaganda yourselves? Why are you attacking him like he is your mom trying to take away your bong?

A nice enough psychopath
mass shootings are a decidedly right wing phenomenon. this goes back to columbine. dummy
if you think you can just make hostile replies to someone who posts things you dislike and call them mentally ill for repaying you in kind, what would that say about your own behavior 😂
i guess you miss reddit already huh? want to post about how tencent is censoring the tiananmen square massacre posts?
Are you OK?
Ah I guess I'm a school shooter now too?
You care an awful lot about online strangers' opinions of you, so actually maybe you are
You're not particularly bright, are you?
