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
Being informed and not getting into arguments aren't related.
Don't argue with people. If they want to disagree with facts, walk away.
It's literally that easy.
On social media if you run I to anyone too crazy, you can just block them, then never run the risk of arguing with them again.
99.9% you'll never change anyone's mind anyways. Rightwingers/fascists/bigots/racists and the rest of their ilk love sea lioning and pretending to be reasonable at first, but they didn't get to their current positions with logic, and logic won't get them out of it.
They'll claim anything and change at the drop of the hat if a better excuse comes up.
No it isn't.
Also, I don't think I will givesomefucks. In, I refuse to give a single fuck.
There's a problem with that: often the irrational will keep vomiting its irrationality, and potentially convince others of it. Sometimes it's no biggie, but sometimes the irrationality in question is being used to back up some discourse like nationalism or similar trash.
So if you walk away, you're making society worse. If you don't walk away, you're wasting your time. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I know you didn't mean it this way, but I read your comment to first mean "if they want to disagree with you by using facts they have, then walk away."
...took me a second, lol.
Yes they are
Eta: oh shoot, I think I offended people. Sorry, I was trying to do a Monty Python.
I've never seen this before. Thanks for sharing!
