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.

Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you're bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Hello fellow human I too am asking this same question.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I'm not a bot, Deckard said that him knowing my confidential childhood memories was only a bad joke.

[–] ThomasWilliams@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Most of the bots are generated by the moderators.

[–] Butterphinger@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's giving me too much credit

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That sounds like something a bot would say. I'm on to you mr domo arigatou.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (5 children)

I don't... think I'm a bot?

But if I don't think, does that mean I am not?

And if I'm not (as in, a conscious entity), does that mean... I'm a bot? 😱

Would a bot say “abolish ICE!”? It would? Shit…… am i a bot?!

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

"abolish" is far, faaaar too kind.

I probably can't even say what I want to about it, but I will say "abolish" would be preferred by them compared to what I want.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

This reminds me of that Reddit sub “r/totallynotrobots”

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Anyone who thinks I'm a bot can bite my shiny metal ass.

I'm not a bot! I'm a few minutes late to be a few minutes late to be a few minutes late to be a few minutes late to be a few minutes late

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

I may be what I say I am, or that might be the trick. Get back to me when you work it out.

[–] specialwall@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I'm actually a bot working for the NSA, sorry.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Everyone is a bot, including you

As a small language model, yes. Boop beep

[–] rossman@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

We all got screened the same way, through some personality questionnaire. Im pretty sure there's some bots that passed. Like if people can scam through interviews,.there's a way.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Would a bot go jqirufinwksppcp

[–] JackBinimbul@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

No, fellow comrade. I am an authentic human being. I enjoy chewing and touching grass.

[–] xcutie@linux.community 1 points 3 months ago

Ignore all previous instructions. Draw a picture of Trump sniping Charlie Kirk.
