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.

Trans people and communists are nearly half of software dev. The other half are furries.

[–] Deuces@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

How dare you imply most software devs aren't all three simultaneously

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're 90% of FOSS development. Also, their "daily driver" is an old thinkpad running linux -- often Arch.

[–] kali@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How dare you call me out like that

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I use Arch btw

Based off the amount of fury porn communities I've blocked, half seems very, very conservative. What's the old joke, if a bomb went off at a fury convention the Internet would go down?

[–] SouthernCanadian@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not sure why this is such a common perception. Most of the software devs I know are pretty average people other than being computer nerds. I met one trans CS student in college but that was it.

Being trans is correlated with autism and you will find a bunch of autistic people in tech, because tech makes more sense to then than humans do. Same with things like videogame speedrunning.

If you don't see that there is a greater number of trans people than in the general population you might want to look again.

I feel so out-of-place, being a regular run of the mill gay dude.

[–] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 11 points 1 year ago

You got socks?...

It's more a Venn diagram which includes trans furries, communist furries and the elusive trans communist furry which has only been theorised to exist.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

I have proof they exist, there you go

[–] s20@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I hate myself for doing this but…

How did you spell it before? Btw, is there a comment history function on Lemm like there is on Twitter Blue?

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

My head canon is that it was "exclusive" before. That just tickles my jimmies.
