No Stupid Questions
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.

I want to help. Do you have any advice? This has convinced me I have a moral imperative but I don't even know where to start.
I feel I should also mention other groups, anarchist are pretty cool people and get things done but lack organisation, you can easily find anarchists in your local areas through social medial, search terms like radical, anarchist or in demos all black masked up. Socialists search google with your location and socialism, or find them at union pickets, selling papers in cities, socialist groups trend towards the original marxist teachings aposed to the stalinist philosophy. Communist groups tend to be Stalinist / moaists which personally I don't support with their stance on sexuality. Avoid the Spartans: a socialist group that are a bunch of nonces and wish to lower age of consent. Avoid larger broad left groups as they trend towards upper middle class liberals (dictionary definition) without a solid doctrine.
Also try to find a place that keeps identity politics at a healthy distance. I made a home with The Socialist Party 'formally militant' as they are principled unlike the SWP.
Read The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engle's, then State and Revolution by Lenin or even audiobook which are both on YouTube. Its important because they both outline the reasoning and the conviction needed. Then you'll want to find a socialist/communist group that suits you, I'm a marxist, my ideas of socialism diverge with the appearance of Stalin. If your in the united states we have a trotskyist party who I've spoken to personally and theyre a good lot, your best bet would be to visit https://www.socialistworld.net/category/international/ this is the international body I work under and many other countries also work under.
Hope you find a suitable space comrade. Feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance or just to let me know how your getting on.
