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.

I have a question:

If I make comments that are hostile to the notion that people can be "transgender," even without targeting a particular person, will I be banned here?

For example, if I say that it is not logically possible to be "trans," will I be banned?

I've been banned like 10 times from Reddit for this, so I'm curious about here.

I certainly hope so.

I suspect you will be labeled as “sympathetic to groups known to discriminate against a group of people”, so yes, you will likely be banned from this particular community.

Depends on the instance. Only the instance admin can ban your account entirely, and you can in principle just make one on another one. You can of course also get banned by mods from the communities they manage. So if you walk into most places on here that are on-track with the reality of human rights, and say shit like that, yeah, you'll get the boot. Being this wrong about something like that makes it pretty warranted in the places on here that will give you the boot. Which is most of them. Go find some corner with people like you, and stay in it, please.

Do you know of any free speech leaning instances?

Depends on the instance.

That said, fuck off.

I doubt you'll be banned, people might think you're just being contrarian or a bigot.

No. The mod here made it pretty clear that if I make a comment about "trans" people that doesn't affirm them, then I am being "unsafe" and will be banned.
