!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:
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

For those of you that haven't seen, 4chan was hacked:
https://boingboing.net/2025/04/17/4chan-hacked-obliterated-and-unlikely-to-be-back-soon.html
A deadly blow? Will a copycat spring up? Where are the users going in the meantime? Does any of this really matter?
I've seen some in the comment sections on Lemmy, but the brunt is probably going to tarnish reddit, as they've done it already when they werent on 4chan.
There’s an entire instance full of them here. It’s called HilariosChaos. Edgelords abound!
They're not 4channers and I find Alice the instance amin quite nice.
Agree to disagee.
Do you have any examples? We can just agree on this one if true lol
I have one example that I think is pretty solid:
HilariousChaos.
I meant specific examples. But yeah, agree to disagree, then lol
The instance serves as an example unto itself. It’s widely known to be a troll instance. I don’t really know what else to say.
I love how the last comment on it, if it doesn't come back will be "chicken jockey".
What will happen to greentext groups etc?
I know right? Who will we make fun of now without any shame? Other than magats and news anchors.
The sharty and other imageboards. It's virtually impossible for them to exist on fedi due to moderation, however they will probably create new chan instances, especially since I've seen them talk about lemmy before
They won't join übercorp social media because they already look down upon it + half of them will be banned in less than a week
Lemmy maybe
Hopefully not here
I know it's a tiny minority of their culture over there but I will miss seeing screenshots of their wholesome/poignant greentexts. I hope some of those robots move on and turn out ok
4chan died over a decade ago. What has been nuked there was its rotting carcass plastered with Nazi and MAGA shit.
It should never return.
Time for a fediverse alternative for 4chan! ~/s~
They should call it fedchan.
Aren't there similar websites like 8chan that serve the same purpose? I may be out of the loop but won't they migrate there?
8ch×n is worse.
