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.

Yes. There are a lot of examples of people who were part of the kkk who has others help them figure out that hate wasn’t the way.
It’s why when I hear people say just ignore the other side and don’t talk to them, it bothers me. Who is going to help them if you don’t?
I am more concerned by the people that encourage violence towards others, including people with pretty awful ideological beliefs like KKK members.
Like, you're really going to say that your ideology is better than theirs, and the way you prove it is by.... treating them just as badly as they treat others...? That doesn't show your ideology is better, it's exactly the same just a different flavor. Treating them violently isn't going to change their mind, it will only cause them to become deeper rooted in their beliefs, and will continue to perpetuate the cycle of hatred that causes violence in the first place. But changing the mind of even just one is a goal all should have. Human society has no place for hate.
Its important to note that having no place for hatred does not mean all things need to be accepted by all people. People can show love or kindness to a person without accepting what they choose to do or think. They're not mutually exclusive. If, for example, I say "I hate when you wear a red shirt," that doesn't mean I hate you. I can still show love and kindess and not accept that you're wearing a red shirt at the same time. And you likewise have the freedom to say "I hate when you wear a blue shirt," and still can show love and kindess regardless.
