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.

I just love the correct use of the English language. That is why it is a big pet peeve of mine on the misuse of the word fuck. I believe if you can use curse words correctly at any age then they should use them. But chastise children and tell them that is not how you use that word and show them how to use it correctly. But adults I just got to the point no one respects language anymore. I just try to make it a point of pointing it out. Like someone fixing your car and their reciting poetry like a song stuck in their head. And compliment them on doing it. My opinion is we have a whole freaking world who say's why. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing that? and so forth. Instead of say hey why not and offer assistance in the en devour

ok, you asked for it :)

How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone ~~use~~ uses the word ~~lets~~ let's say, ecclesiastical or something like that, they do not get complimented it shows they respect English.

(I can't quite fix the last part, "it shows they respect English"..)

I never said I was a master of it or grammar. Grammar I suck at but sometimes type it just for engagement. But we compliment people on everything else. Just kind of seems we need language warriors. And if I use a word incoherently ;) then I would like to be called out on it. As long as it is an educated calling out.
