!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:
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.

For the love of money or god or whatever, can law makers please understand that all this is pushing the actual bad actors deeper into networks they can't get at.
Any group of individuals with enough IT knowledge will just run systems that bypass all the checks in mainstream systems!
They know. That's not the point of these things. The point is to spy on you. It's not any more complicated than that. They want to spy on you and they are straight up lying about it.
That is absolutely what the public needs to understand although we've been through several iterations of this already.
And couldn't bad actors just host some kind of network of Matrix servers that aren't accessible on the public web and the whole thing is moot anyways?
Although lots of idiots into child abuse stuff are dumb as doors, this is true. Natural selection comes into play and they will find other ways. In the meantime we collectively lose our basic rights forever.
There's no such thing as a technological solution to a legal problem.
There's no legal solution to a technological problem. Laws are always temporary, for better or worse.
It's not about prohibiting e2ee; it's about enforcing client-side scanning.
Yes, that also breaks e2ee, but they can still go "nooo! E2ee is still perfectly fine and legal! You know, as long as we get to read anything anyways"
And realistically, this will probably end up being implemented on an OS-level as well. So even using a self-hosted matrix server would not be immune.
Not to mention that both you and your conversation partner needs to take steps to evade this; one party is not sufficient.
It'll probably be illegal to use encryption too.
Australia tried that and got the excellent quote:
"The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia"
"Infinite money glitch actively exploited by Australians as laws of math no longer apply to the country - Economy is simultaneously in tatters and going "super excellent" as fingers lose their use for counting"
They'll just pass Chat Control Enhanced Edition+ Addendum™ to close any loopholes.
