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.

Hey gang. So I've posted this elsewhere to no avail, guess I have to throw a wider net. I've decided to try and organize within my, let's call it "heavily paperless and colorful" neighborhood with the goal of informing the community of their rights and resources and hopefully put together a sort of neighborhood ice watch.

I’m working to make a clear, practical resource packets on legal rights, support organizations, and safety planning, to distribute but I’m new to this, and I could really use some solidarity and guidance.

If you have trusted resources to share, know-your-rights materials, links to national networks that might have local chapters, community defense toolkits, or literally anything that might help, please send them my way. I know I'm not providing a lot of details for hands on help, I'm trying to keep this on the download so I'll be doing the heavy lifting when it comes to researching and translatinf everything for our specific location.

TLDR: I'm trying to do something about it, but I don't know where to start, can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help and any support means a lot.

If you're looking for links to national networks you might want to share what country you're in.

Sorry, I thought the context was in there. This is for the US in light of the current situation going on in Minisota. Though I'm more than happy to take international information, especially for south and central America, any practical knowledge is still more than I have.

Boots On The Ground is the group that I look to. They're in the KC Meteo area, and extremely active. They do lots of trainings on know your rights and legal observation. I dont have any packets on me, but I'm sure if you email them, they'd be more than happy to share info

Just got this link for KYR cards from somebody in that group. Its got english and Spanish. https://www.waimmigranthealth.org/immigration-action-center/red-card/

https://commonslibrary.org/ I think a first step might be searching here for "toolkit" or specific topics. I remember seeing a lot of useful zines and posters and guides around the internet, and if you're interested I can try to track them down, but this site might have what you need.

This can also be a useful resource: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index

Plugging No Kings here. Best way to meet like minded people and organize is to show up to something local and talk to people face to face. Anything you try to organize online is going to get fucked with by the powers that be. They also have a resource guide.

Indivisible is another.

Common Defense also, (veteran group)

Commenting here to bookmark once you share what everyone else provides support for. I want to do the same for my neck of the woods as well.

I'm not sure if it helps but the Tulsa Collective are usually seen as good community builders, they might have some resources on their websites or social media.

I'm sure there is more out there, but for collaboration and information collection in a neighborhood something like a nextcloud might be helpful
