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.

There is an ongoing attempt to create an equivalence of Trans Persons (and anyone exposing youth to LGBTQ+ ideas in any form, including loving families) to pedophiles through CONSTANT repetition, despite any lack of widespread evidence. There is also a simultaneous attempt to strongly advocate for death penalty for pedophiles. I'm sure you can see where this is heading ......

Also, pedophiles are not all child molesters and vice versa.

In fact, most child abusers are not pedophiles. They victimize children not because they are children but because they are easy prey.

It's about the power and control. If their victims weren't children, they'd be called sociopaths or psychopaths.

Pedophilia can be easily treated but because of hate-mongers who have conflated these two things, many fear they'll be arrested if they seek help. Even if they've never done anything wrong. Some do become abusers because they feel like they have no safe way of dealing with their feelings.

Trying to equate LGBTQ to pedophilia is using misinformation and lies to hurt and scare.

It's the ultimate in hate and ignorance.

Mass purge of the Republican Party and owner class?

[–] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Only if justice was class blind, but it’s not.

That door can be made to swing both ways.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Only if you have the power to do so.

If the Republican Party can purge the United Kingdom they deserve the win that's impressive range.

The question I want answered is was the (fake) word "pedosexual" made up by them or by trolls making fun of them?

[–] november@lemmy.vg 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"Pedosexual" was a false flag operation by 4channers to try and make people think LGBTQ folks supported pedos.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Was that with the MAPS thing?

[–] match@pawb.social 5 points 3 days ago

MAPs is a 4chan troll yes

[–] letraset@feddit.dk 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What are MAPs? First time I've come across it.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it was meant to be minor attracted person or some shit. I mostly just remember 4Chan trying to lump it into LGBT+ issues

[–] letraset@feddit.dk 1 points 3 days ago

Thank you for your reply.

[–] november@lemmy.vg 2 points 3 days ago

I honestly have no idea if MAPs are trolls or actual pedos trying to rebrand.
