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.

Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?

Specifically, I want to know where is the line drawn, regarding the recent NYC Shooting incident involving the corporate shithead.

Posting tons of links to Lemmy posts, for one.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (2 children)
  • Links to archive.org
  • Talking about downloads, how to circumvent DRM, software to do the above.
  • Links to anything but youtube on /c/videos . (r/videos respectively).
  • Talking about lemmy (in some communities)
  • Alternative links to youtube videos that got banned for some reason or another.

I haven't visited reddit aside from the stray search result or very niche question every few months (no general browsing or any contributing since I made this account), you really can't post archive links? Why? DMCA BS?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I once got banned from a community for sharing a zelda decompilation project on archive.org. Others have reported issues with reddit and banning people for sharing nintendo power magazines. Fun times.

Modern day internet, you can talk about things, but you have to talk around certain companies, like nintendo or else risk getting banned/taken down. But with the fediverse, i can own more of the system. If world ever goes down, I can still use my personal instance to communicate for instance.

Linking other communities (vs. subreddit equivalents). For some reason on my last year of reddit some subs started adding rules against mentioning any r/ s. It's almost universally encouraged here to spread knowledge and grow small communities.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh yea reddit gets so strict sometimes. Like I get mods not wanting to get people to start spamming community names, but sometimes a relavent conversation comes up and it's really too strict to not even allow a mention in a relevent conversation.

I don't know what subreddits you were on, but on the ones I'm a member of, it doesn't looks like r/ is seen as a bad thing.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It was whitepeopletwitter, 1.5 years ago. My comment was removed for something not in the sidebar rules, then or now.

Saying that literal Nazis deserve to be killed.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Or even just punched in the face. Or making fun of self identifying Nazis has been enough to get me temporarily banned.

Getting banned from Lemmy is orders of magnitude easier. During my 10+ years on reddit I can only remember one occasion when I got banned from a sub but it has happened on Lemmy multiple times over the 1.5 years I've been here and comments being removed is a regular thing.

On reddit you need to actually break the rules. On Lemmy it's enough that a mod doesn't like what you're saying.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

On Reddit I got banned from subs I'd never posted in for participating in other subs. The content of my posts didn't even matter.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

And the sub doesn’t even have to be related. I got banned from commenting in r/thatsinsane for a comment in r/karma4u, can’t even remember commenting there.

I got banned twice on reddit just because my account was new. So I figured "f reddit" if that's how they treat new people.

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What Reddit were you on? Many subs especially leftist learning ones would ban you even if you just subbed to a sub they didn’t like

leftist learning ones

I think those "leftist" subs are more like tankie subs

I've never been banned from Reddit but I was threatened with a ban by a Reddit admin when I reported a right wing troll group who was obviously using sockpuppets to harass people and spread racist bullshit in some local sub. The admin message said I was abusing the moderation system by reporting them and if I didn't stop I would be banned from Reddit. I was never banned but a few weeks later all of the sockpuppet accounts I reported were banned by the antievil operations team along with one of the mods in that sub.

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’d argue there’s a lot of similarities, since most people left due to Spez and the IPO. I left when Spez and co fucked over the Apollo app dev.

This excludes the tankie instances. I saw a lot of “death to Israel” and other shit before I filtered those instance that would probably have gotten them nuked on reddit. Stuff like that will be the main differences. Here there isn’t any worry about how marketable the platform is to advertisers. Which is mostly a good thing.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Using a VPN can get you banned in reddit.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

.......well now my ban makes more sense.

I got a three day suspension on reddit for telling automoderator to eat my ass. I don't think that would happen on lemmy.

Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government's system of "bend over and take it."

[–] QualifiedKitten@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They kinda sorta reversed course on that.

Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

I can't recommend SJW highly enough. Big enough to be stable but small enough to only have a handful of admins who are all very reasonable and very easy to reach and discuss things with

Saying Nazis should get punched'll get you banned on reddit in my experience

I've never heard of it, and checking it out it makes zero sense to ban for linking to what is clearly a decent website by decent people.

I believe it, just expressing my confusion.

[–] folkrav@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For a second, I was wondering why they'd ban links to the World Series Of Poker.

Got a recent one for you. I was permabanned from reddit a month ago for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because Liz Cheney is a warhawk who has called for bombing millions of people.

Banned for “glorifying violence,” not because I agreed with it or endorsed it. Just for saying I didn’t care.

They even banned an alt I used for work stuff, just for being associated with the main account. Ban upheld on appeal.

[–] That_Devil_Girl@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

I got perma-banned for condemning Israel's genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄

Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.
