No Stupid Questions
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Yes. Maga gets tremendous power from 2 main sources. 1. Money. 2. Social media, and also religion, but not much you can do about that.
So, like Kimmel situation, disney had profit in firing him, once peiple boycotted, it did not, so had to bring him back.
You need to make siding with trump non-profitable.
That means, you, an individual, even if you think your choices dont matter, you need to boycott every company that supports trump, no matter how hard it hurts you. Now, it does t need to be a complete boycott. But as much as possible. For example, there are suitable replacements for chrome, and google search. But not really for YouTube. You don't need the stock for these companies to be zero. You just need the projections to be significantly negative.
This is especially important for the social media maga controls.
They are using it to brainwash others. Not you. They know you cant be persuaded to become maga. So they let you think it is free, and subtly control what you're allowed to see, and they corrupt young people, spread lies, teach to hate women, etc... they wont show the ones they are brainwashing all the truths you know about maga.
They have this power because everyone continues to use their platforms. So number one thing is to stop using meta, twitter, and tiktok, no matter how much you love those. Force people to use signal if they want to contact you, not WhatsApp.
Organize irl, whatever local movement you align with that fits into being pro democracy and freedom and equality for all.
When people organize, they can donate, and fund. This lets you go and protest on congress' front lawn. You can have buses, trains, free food, things people need to come and go, and create a sustained peaceful protest. And MAGA will see that. The administration will be forced to call them paid actors. So be vocal. Get pro democracy flags for your car. Put them up in your homes. Maga can control what the brainwashed see on social media, but not irl. So you need to be vocal irl. Social media makes everyone think all the world agrees with them.
Do all of those things, and trump will lose tremendous power.
Even if you act alone. Make the sacrifice. Show by example, and remember those videos of one man dancing alone, and then another joins and another, and once people see the movement they join in. Start the wave.
