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.

It may sound weird, but your choice of phone does say something about you. I have to say I am dismayed when I see an iPhone in someone's hand. I may understand their reasons, but still. I can imagine it works the other way around too.
I mean, to take it to the extreme: I remember a Reddit debate about a married couple, where the husband was an open source, anti-corporate advocate, and the wife wanted to fill their house with Amazon Alexa speakers.
20 years ago, your choice of brand for TV or camera wouldn't matter much, but now it can indeed be a big deal.
This is just weird to me as someone who has used Apple products for 17 years now. I literally couldn’t care less what someone uses and if they’re shallow enough to judge me based on what phone I use I wouldn’t want to know them.
As a grown adult I’m maybe only accept this attitude from a young high-school student or preteen.
Maybe it's just that I've met too many i-users who are so full of themselves in this really annoying way, and often using owning/not owning Apple against other people.
Or when you look at all the obnoxious duckface / beach ball butt / Popeye biceps mirror selfie pics - 999/1000 are with iphones.
After a while... One just begins to be on guard.
Guess I'm... Phone-ist? Like that, but man I still think it's more about me hating those kinds of people. Sorry that you get to be associated with them.
(Now to be frank, Apple isn't helping it either for promoting the elitism. Remember the "I'm a Mac" ads? They want people to believe they're better if they use Apple. And the bubble color is well documented too.)
That’s fair, I haven’t really met anyone like that so it’s understandable how obnoxious that is. I just enjoy using the products for my own reasons, has nothing to do with any kind of “flex” so presenting it in that way would would be off putting.
