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'm thinking a community driven open source project. Maybe it could connect to PiHole somehow? Basically if anything is AI in any way, it blocks you from accessing it.

So, lets say you click a youtube video. The blocker would quick scan the URL, compare it against it's database, and as long as the profile for that URL doesn't come back with any flags, it lets you through. If it lets you through and it's still AI, YOU can report it back to the database with a click of a button, and now anyone else who ever visits that URL for that youtube video, with the blocker installed ,will instead get a screen that says "The page you are attempting to access has been reported as AI." Then you could scroll the list of reports, and choose to load the page anyways, or go back.

If you choose to load the site anyways after being warned, you can still give a report. Maybe this URL doesn't have many reports, and maybe some are lacking or outdated. You could add your report. Then when you submit it, it would be more helpful to future visitors. Maybe the okl site had some issue and they got a report. And then 10 years later, the report has the innitial report from 10 years ago, which was true at the time. The site has since relaunched or redesigned. And whatever AI was there has been removed. Or changed. You could include that the AI reports are no longer valid. This triggers a vote the next 10 people vote on whether to remove the flags from this profile. It would require 10 community members to all vote remove. If it's a mixed result, the flag stays. If all 10 vote remove, the flag is deleted and no longer considered to be made with AI.

And you as the user can choose which level of AI you're willing to tolerate. Me personally, no AI please. None at all. No images made with AI. No Youtube scripts written by AI even if they're performed and edited by real people. If even the script is AI written, no. Maybe you're ok with a human performed AI written script. That's how you'd set your settings, and you wouldn't get the flag screen. I don't want to see that video, so I'd set my settings my way, and I'd see the flag screen.

And there would be dates, but not usernames. The program knows who said what, but that information isn't publically shown, and no account is needed to write a flag report. So you could see context of how long it's been for things, but you can't become famous just because you set a bunch of false flags.

Oh, I guess we should think about how to cat and mouse the bad actors.

Ok, what if instead of flagged URLs aren't immediately flagged. They're reviewed similarly to removing a a flag. 100 users will have to vote. 80% yes needed to create a flag. My logic is, that way you can't have a bunch of trolls flagging every website they see. More users vote to diminish each voting power. 80% requirement instead of 100% to cancel out the votes of trolls.

I figure trolls are going to want to flag everything, but probably won't want to de-flag anything. So there's more leniency there, to bother less users.

Now the only question is.......is this even feasible???

This problem of "how do I curate stuff so I only see what I like" can be a really hard problem

Perchance
