No Stupid Questions
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.

This thread is basically "Please help me brainstorm pejoratives", a very toxic mindset to have.
Being nice to everyone all the time is a recipe for evil to take over.
No this is an attempt to not misgender someone while dismissing their stupid opinion.
For example if I replied to your comment “OK guy, that’s a totally valid read of my post” I could be misgendering you. That is why Im instead replying “OK buddy, that’s a totally valid take and you are absolutely in a place to judge others” as Im not looking to misgender you just to dismiss your opinion.
You're confused. I said "this thread" and not "The OP".
If you read the comments, do you see a frank discussion of people attempting to locate a gender neutral term for a tech enthusiast or a bunch of people just riffing insulting terms?
Regardless, to address you specifically. You're trying to "win" an argument using rhetoric in place of reason. You're not winning the argument, you're just throwing a punch and declaring victory.
You win arguments by having better arguments, not by coming up with the best clever clapback so that you get more upvotes
"This is techbro nonsense" is shorthand for "this is false for reasons 1, 2, 3 describing what techbros think". Just like "this is racist" is shorthand for "this is false for reasons 1, 2, 3 describing what racists think". Why should we waste time explaining in detail again and again what's wrong with an argument when there are simple words that encompass it all? KevinOfficeWords.jpg
