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.

European here. Telegram and FB Messenger is used by everyone even for iPhone to iPhone communication.
European here too. I don't know anybody that uses FB Messenger or Telegram. All Signal and WhatsApp. But maybe my people are strange.
Same. European here, I have lived in several different EU countries and everyone I know uses either WhatsApp or Signal.
It's interesting seeing how people use two main apps for texting, and they're not the same two for everyone.
Mine are Telegram and WhatsApp
Lithuanian here.
Been encouraging everyone to use Telegram. To me it's the best messaging app I found, mostly in every possible way.
I have no idea who uses Whatsapp, boomers sometimes tend to use Viber, some random people have Signal (i no longer use it lol) and some people also use FB Messenger.
Here in Italy WhatsApp became the norm many years ago and to this day it's hard to get rid of because that's where you'll find everyone you know.
I'd love if everyone moved to Telegram, but I know it's not easily done unfortunately
Germans use WhatsApp. I hate it here.
European and I hardly know people who still have a FB account, let alone use the messenger. Here everyone uses Whatsapp or Signal
No whatsapp? I live in austria and everyone has WhatsApp
Im not the person you replied to but I'm from Denmark and WhatsApp isn't very common here (at least not with people I know). most mobile subscriptions here include free texting and otherwise many people just use FB Messenger.
Edit: clarification
