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.

Also try https://50501.chat/c/. For example, https://50501.chat/c/California.
Searching for @50501.chat from your Lemmy might turn up a match too.
That's what that means....! I thought it was an area code or something
I only know about it because I happened to see their announcement when they launched the instance. It sounds like it was a reddit movement before they came to Lemmy.
I think it's a platform independent movement that is now on Lemmy. Not sure it started on Reddit.
It was. Sad that Reddit removed their subreddit with all its info, but I guess not surprising.

This has some. I don’t think 50501 is on there but there’s a range of events. My teacher’s union posted on here and then I found a few more.
My go to site.
Bluesky has an active community posting for 50501 and the organizers have a discord and a subreddit.
There was a website posted on Lemmy a few days ago that showed up in my all feed, where you could look up where protests were planned. I imagine platforms like X instantly remove links to it. So it’s probably difficult to get the word out.
Sign up for Indivisible. They have an email list and will send you dates well in advance.
Depends on where you live, but try to find an organization active in your town whose ideas are somewhat in line with yours. If they're on a social media you use or have a website with an RSS feed you can subscribe to, use that. Otherwise, try and get in their contacts (many organizations have a contact list broader than their actual member list, so you don't have to adhere if you're not sure to commit). Then you get notified for every action they take part in.
To find them in the first place... Keep your eyes peeled for stickers or posters in the streets; and try to find the people at a protest or event said posters advertised.
You need to stage a protest against the insufficient information.
I read your name as FelixCheese.
Not the gel packs!!
Cheese yourself 😜
I was wondering the same about my city today, because there seem to have been two protests, but I didn't realize until afterwards. Different county/protests though.
I feel like they are being purposely mis-managed to stall momentum. My city had 2 protests the same day a few weeks back and the one I went to only got like 100 people to attend. Why was there 2 protests instead of 1 larger protest?
In my case it was some idiots protesting against vaccination mandates (which aren't around anymore) and a lot of people giving them hell. That sounded like fun.
I've been feeling the same way. I searched the "Indivisible" site and found a local chapter that's planning a rally. It feels like there should be an independent site where all similar events are posted, but I haven't found one.
