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 includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
slavery being ended was a combination of morality, law, and war. Other places managed to get rid of it in a more progressive law kind of way while the us had people fighting it for a long time and had a massive majority who wanted to see its end before the civil war eroupted and mostly put it to bed (it being allowed for prisoners show the good guys did not completely win). The great depression is what spurred minimum wage. Voting rights for both blacks and women were a long and drawn out fight. Minimum wage has been lowered like with sub minimum wages. There is a party in the us and I think some in europe and such that toass around the idea to not have women vote. Everyone is not evil and hate us and its a pedantic thing to say they are all the same and not recognize some are better than others. So voting and resisting is what we can do. We know a lot of this has corporate influence and even ones not explicity going for it roll over easily. So don't consume any more than you have to. Take that free time from not going to movies or out places and go to protests. Use your libraries and other local community things and support them. The reason you feel powerless is because group power comes from acting in concert. No single grain of sand in a sandstorm is that harmful but when many are raging in the storm it is a terror.
