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.

MODERATORS
 

I'm a conservative. I don't mind the liberal stuff here. It's good to learn the other side, but I don't want a liberal echo chamber. I'd like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

Free speech is the biggest one.

Women’s rights is another.

Go on and explain those, please.

Free speech? The left want any speech they deem “hateful” to be censored, banned, and made illegal. They encourage and campaign for people to be deplatformed and banned from social media.

Women’s rights? They want biological men to have access to everything that biological women do.

Explain. What speech do they deem hateful? Why is it not actuwlly hateful? And what are they doing to ban it or make it illegal? Also, where are these leftists? They're certainly not in government.

Women’s rights? They want biological men to have access to everything that biological women do.

Such as? Also, what is a "biological man"? As far as I'm aware, biology has nothing to do with gender. It relates to sex, though. There are biological males, that's for sure. So, it seems to me you're just doing mental gymnastics to say trans women aren't valid and are just. To sum up, you're just reaching to be anti trans, and pretending this is an anti leftist argument.

Also, i thought we were talking about the left? The left are more likely to ve on boars with trans people, true, and to be against hate speech. But the left are generally more about worker solidarity, unions, busting hierarchy and removing the state. Seems you have leftism confused for general progressivism.
