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.

MODERATORS
Yeah, you can always count on them to brigade.
Yeah. They've been downvote bombing me since yesterday. And they were telling me I'm the one that needs to go back to reddit lol
Hexbear, famous for having down votes turned on. But yeah, you're totally surrounded by secret hexbears all down voting you
Lemmy, famous for not allowing alt accounts ๐
This is why people don't like hexbear, because they consistently try to gaslight and use disingenous arguments such as this. How are you disputing the fact that OP is getting downvoted by hexbears right now? That's insane.
Gaslighting? Disingenuous? You're the one asserting that anyone down voting must be a hexbear alt, by virtue of the fact that nobody could possibly disagree unless they were already a hexbear user.
It's just a bit circular and not disprovable anyways. Maybe the admins should just check the logs and ban everyone who's down voted so you can rest easy. Wouldn't want to have any authoritarians using lemmy.
I never asserted that "anyone downvoting must be a hexbear alt". There you go again, misrepresenting my point just to feel like you're winning.
I'm quite sure that non-hexbears are downvoting OP also. But that wasn't what you said, was it? You could have said that originally, but instead you decided to mock OP and act like he's crazy and there's no way he is getting downvoted by hexbear users, which is disingenous and lame.
You know what you're doing, I don't need to explain your own bad faith tactics to you.
Just quoting you:
Between 2 and n "hexbears" (understood to mean "humans afflicted with hexbear mind virus using other servers") are behaving in some coordinated way. You were pretty clearly implying that it's some conspiracy rather than simply other users disagreeing with you.
I'm sure there are people who primarily use hexbear and use alts, some of them may even be downvoting you.
I took your assertion to its ridiculous conclusion because it's a ridiculous thing to be complaining about in the first place, as in not a real problem.
Not to be a dick, but it seems like you guys are on the same side, so why are you arguing?
I'm honestly not sure what to make of this comment?
If this is what you think agreeing looks like then I pity the people in your life.
I personally feel like you guys are on the same side, so please don't argue
Edit: my bad. I was wrong. The other person got upset because I thought you two were under agreement. They're gone from my post now ๐
That's ok. Instead of having a normal dialog or civil disagreement, they want to be cowards and try to bully or demean people that disagree with them. Those people that do that are honestly sad and I pity them
.... what are you doing in this post? Should I feel sad and pity you?
I was trying to wrap my head around the guy complaining about the lack of civil disagreement, people bullying and demeaning while simultaneously posting a thread calling all the users on what's one of the largest trans instances on lemmy "insane" in the title before walking it back in the body
Why make it the post title then unless you're fishing for negative engagement?
