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.

A lot of users seem to be getting banned from dating apps. Particularly the ones owned by Match Group (Tinder for instance). Some users get banned from all of them at once. This happens to both men and women.

There's also a lot of people who seem to be unable to download dating apps from Google Play Store, allthewhile being able to download other apps just fine. This is the thing I'm most curious about. There's no word from Google on why this is happening as far as I know.

Now obviously as I'm asking this, I believe that most/many of the people who get banned are banned without being given a reason. They seem clueless.

Does anybody know more on how/why these bans occur? Particularly the PlayStore thing seems weird. I've seen it suggested that it has to do with being flagged as underage, but that seems doubtful, as your Google Account will have your age listed.

Welcome to the world of algorithmic risk scores.

Some factors a algorithm weighs that no human really understands, add up to enough to ban the account, gets banned across all properties of the business that use the same algorithmic risks score.

We can only speculate, you have to give a specific examples if you want specific analysis. Saying people in general have trouble with match group, or even Google Play. It's just anecdotal
