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.

You betcha buddy. Joking. For myself, at least.
Idk what's going on with Flying Squid, but a lot of the trolls accounts I see are from .world so people are probably starting to associate that instance with those kinds of people.
I don't think FlyingSquid is a troll; I just think they tend to be argumentative and opinionated (I can be those things as well, so I'm not really judging when I say so).
He is also very heavy handed. The entire admin team is (not necessarily a bad thing). I was banned from a community for reporting a comment that insulted me directly because they didn't like a joke I made. The joke was a harmless word pun, the comment I reported called me an idiot. But I was the one banned. Resource? None, calling the mod chat to argue a community ban is discouraged and also an offense. My account could be banned just for pointing it out in this comment. But that's just the way things are here. I had to block FS because he tended to argue in bad faith with me whenever I happened to comment in the same post as him.
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is there for you.
Oh yeh i got a lifetime ban and he banned another user for the same thing but 2 days.
LyingSquid is the most biased unqualified person to be in a position of power. And he rages so often in the comments, you can tell he stews over shit to target people later.
This you?
Yup, and I would gladly say for Israelis to get fucked again.
Now go do a Zionist doing the same shit to Palestinians and see how lenient Squid is to them.
Flying Squid isn't technically an admin. He just seems like he is because he mods too many communities.
He got angry when I corrected something; he saw it as a personal slight. Odd to me but so be it.
Their usually fine but the smallest things set them off. Usually not an issue unless you're unlucky enough to be where they mod.
My favorite is still how they'll ban people for TOS but leave the comment(s) then not understand why that could be bad
The Troll thing I mentioned was more regarding the hate for .world accounts. I'm a little skeptical of some, especially the newer ones.
I've seen some of Flying Squids' comments, but its not like I've been following them closely. I don't think they're saying anything wrong, based on what I've seen. I wouldn't begrudge someone for being passionate. That just shows me they care.
People on reddit used to think I was lying about stuff I did in my youth, because nobody would do those things today. I absolutely did them. I wasn't on drugs, most of the time, I'm just a weird person who stopped giving a FUUUUUUUCK about people in kindergarten when I gave Tim Caldwell a teenage mutant ninja turtles fruit pie....and he FUCKING THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!!! I'm sorry, you do NOT throw a 1980s green ooze TMNT hostess fruit pie ON THE FUCKING GROUND when a fat kid gives you one! You treasure that shit, that he thought highly enough of you to give you one! It was at that moment I realized that other people do no matter. I'm the greatest human being alive, and I no longer need to worry about other people or the consequences of my actions.
So I threw my pants down, threw him to the ground, and sat on his face. Nothing sexual. I was 5. So was he. I was just humiliating him on the school yard, by shoving my butt in his face.
But on reddit, they would say things like "Pics or it didn't happen!". And I would reply "Let me get this straight....you want me to send you pictures of my bare ass when I was 5 years old? Even if those pictures existed, sending them, or even having them in my OWN possesion would be highly illegal!"
They didn't think that through. But I'm not a troll. I'm just an idiot.
Based purely on this comment alone. You seem to have the most fitting username I've ever seen. That was wild read lol. Thanks for the laugh.
Is it concerning that me reading your comment didn't narrow it down WHICH comment you were replying to AT ALL for me? 100% of the time I need to click the context button to know whatevery anyone is talking about. My comments range from the politically divisive, to the absurdist satire, to stories of days gone by......and any story involving me is already going to be weird.
Drag likes you and likes weird.
Was the lonely island skit based on your life story? ๐
