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.

Es la muerte de PugJesus. Descanse en paz.
Quién? 🤣 First I was like
But then I was like, something's going on...
I cannot tell you, in dollars and cents, how much money piefed admins are saving as a result of this change (and it is not to be understated that I appreciate their time and money), so I can't offer any opinion on whether it was worth it, but I do know that the cost to me in user experience of not seeing a friend, and not being able to vote on every post I see, and not understanding the majority of the historical memes I see, is not a small one.
Seriously, I still don't understand what is happening and why (was PugJesus misusing the votes and needed to be restrained or the likes?), but I trust your judgment 💯.
Oh sorry, I didn't actually read the post you linked and assumed it was his going away message. Another L for reading comprehension on fedi.
Rimu added a feature to Piefed a coupla-few releases ago to limit the number of upvotes and downvotes each account can give per day. The meter you have in your screenshot is how many of your quota you've used today; if you give too many you'll get a little pop-up that has some "you're doing that too much, come back tomorrow" message. The concern was that the cost of federating votes was disproportionate to its value -- making the network connections and passing the events takes a lot of overhead. He set the quota to something where like 95% of users would never hit it, but bots and truly unhinged users like PugJesus and I do. I really do not want to sound critical of this decision -- all development decisions are about tradeoffs, and if my instance goes under because Jerry can't afford to run it anymore, I lose access to all my friends, not just one. It isn't like with a corporate social media where cutting costs increases profits, it's just decreasing the rate at which they're losing money. And piefed isn't the only service that doesn't federate likes the same as other activities -- on mastodon, you generally only see likes from your own instance. Pug was just tired and disabled and in pain a lot and took the change hard because he'd migrated from instance to instance many times (which I have too, and I completely understand the frustration at feeling like you have to start over), and so he announced he was quitting fedi completely rather than doing it again. The fediverse is an extremely hard problem space to work in because there are very diverse use cases, and basically no money allocated to work on solving them, and this is just something that happens sometimes when you have two well-intentioned actors trying their best.
That bandwidth excuse doesn't make sense, if you are bandwidth limited then limiting image sizes would have much larger impact
I guess maybe it's rather the number of individual requests. maybe votes are not sent in batches
As a slight clarification, Rimu specifically confirmed the change (voting restrictions) were not due to bandwidth concerns, but rather to curtail certain users from voting "too much".
Also, confirmed the users in questions were not bots, just user who voted a lot (I'm in that category). My instance removed the limiter within a couple days of the update being implemented.
Yet, Rimu mentions it in the release notes, so that's the "official" reason:
Rimu acting like china
The screenshot you posted of PugJesus is unrelated to the voting situation, except in so far as he left the fediverse, but then came back to post that comment.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification!
How bizarre, how bizarre!
El es uno de los magnos del fediverse
I had to look up "magnos" 😅🤣 ¡Gracias!
