!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.

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
 

I originally signed up for lemmy about six months ago due to becoming outraged over reddit's continual coddling of hard right and fascist powermods that use their authority to harass.

It was good here at lemmy.world for a long while until I started getting harassed by a 12 day old right leaning mod in /politics.

I posted a thread here about what to do and even got back a response from the site operator.

Which was shortly followed by a PM my thekingoflorida (the site operator) scolding me and threatening action for calling out the mods bad behavior in threads.

Reading the wind I realized lemmy.world is heading down the shitshow path that so many other online social forums have become and immediately deleted my account.

@thekingoflorida I do not want you to respond, I don't care about your opinion, and if the fucking software would let me block you, I would have already.

So in short, I'm looking for a lemmy instance that has zero right wing users with admins that actually want to keep right wing forum manipulation off of their platform. I don't care about 'the marketplace of ideas' or fairness in speech that tries to give space to fascist rhetoric in the guise of equality.

EVERY time they worm their ways in and have admin support, it ALWAYS railroads into what ruined reddit. And I'm tired of these shitstains ruining communities that I enjoy.

So, TL;DR: I'm looking for a lemmy instance with ZERO tolerance for anything right of Bill Clinton.

Mmm? I don’t remember ever scolding someone. If you feel like I did that was probably me being Dutch. Could you specify what I said that made you angry?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Okay, so I read through some of the replies and I think I know what exchange you are referring to (not gonna doxx your ofcourse). I was honestly trying to ascertain if that mod had abused their power. You spammed the accusation through different communities, which is against the rules. I removed those comments, but I was still trying to work with you to investigate that particular mod.

Except it isn't?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Notice how the won’t engage with you at all because the are clearly in the wrong someone hurt their feelings so the broke every rule on the instance throwing a tantrum and are surprised when the get repercussions for it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

No I was having brunch, I've already replied to every post in this thread.

Aren't you the sensitive bombast.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Let us know where you land if you find a community that doesn't cater to the crazy fascists.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its always fun watching people fight over how pure their beliefs are.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

That's not actually what's going on here but I understand why your limited reading comprehension leads you to that assumption.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do you have example of right winged posts on Lemmy. ?

I sometimes have the impression that the Fediverse political diversity goes from Soft social-democrat who are ready to make a deal with liberals, like accepting that billionaire can own companies if union are powerful enough to hard-liner Marxist who thing that we should nationalize the mean of production, jails the billionaire, and implement a maximum salary, and that the political debate is more We all agree that Climate change, social issues and societal issues are important However, in a democratic system we cannot do everything at the same time so by which one do we start ?

But basically, It's hard to find, Liberals supporting free market, and thinking that Von der Leyen manages the EU properly. If you remove a few tankies who think that Putin, Orbàn, and Erdogan are nice guys, there isn't much support for right wing government and policies. I am glad to not have all the right winger from reddit, but feel like it's a bit too skewed.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

idgaf about any right wing posts they have the same right to be here if they behave, that's not the reason for my leaving.

I was pretty clear in my post that I was being harassed by a moderator, and they were using their mod powers to shape a narrative that is manifestly anti-liberty.

This has nothing to do with anything any regular user has posted or replied with.

Sounds to me like the instance you're looking for is Blahaj Lemmy over at lemmy.blahaj.zone.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

I put in my application so here's hoping.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

lemmy.blahaj.zone sounds like a good fit for you. It’s an instance predominately set up as a refuge for trans people, but accepts anyone respectful. The admins defederate from anything offensive which keeps it a safe place for people who need it. I’m not trans but basically signed up here because I feel the same as you, I come here to unwind before bed and want to avoid inflammatory shit. It’s a great little community.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

lemmy.blahaj.zone

Its funny but it seems like the trans community has some of the best no-hate zones, thanks for the suggestion and you are the first one to make it for that site.

Going to check it out now.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I don't know shit about kingoflorida but I'm currently stuck in this neo fascist state and I sure as hell am doing what I can to fix it.... consider my vote his anti vote!

Edit: One day folks will learn that tolerance cannot include intolerance.... intolerance will spread like cancer and choke the life out of freedom.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Tolerance was and remains a peace treaty: you be tolerant, and we'll tolerate you. Once someone opts to break the treaty, they receive no further protection from it.

I always recommend kbin to every question. 100% no complaints so far

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

kbin

I think that's the only other alternative I've heard of before now. Appreciate the suggestion and going to make an account now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

the communist tankie ones are lemmygrad and hexbear and to a significantly lesser extent lemmy.ml. I consider hexbear super authoritarian tankies and not really abiding by the socialist ideology most of the time.

Someone else mentioned Beehaw which is an instance that is all about being polite. Iirc they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Your username is fuck lemmy, pretty agro stance to start imo. Best of luck

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I consider hexbear super authoritarian

Ok then they're off the list. I appreciate the context, other users replied with just the name. Their community list was giving me massive red flags so I'm glad you were able to comment on that

Someone else mentioned Beehaw

So far I think that's going to be my choice. Submitted my application about 20 mins ago.

Your username is fuck lemmy, pretty agro stance to start imo. Best of luck

My original deleted username was nothing like this. I made the username as a throwaway to express my frustration with lemmy.world's site admin.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

From what I've seen, I sincerely think you'll like it at Beehaw. They're an ok bunch of progressive folks who refuse to let it become a nazi bar. I can get behind that. Have fun!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You are probably right about the fit, made an application for an account and we'll see how it goes

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just a heads up - beehaw are liberals at best (with the whole "faux civility" bs, and from my experience, an odd tolerance for tankies), not leftists.

I agree with others that blahaj is a good bet, I'm on kbin myself, and have not had problems with the instance (individual users sure, but I just report where I can and block), so maybe give it a look too (kbin also has other instances like lemmy does, but I've not looked in to any of them yet)

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

I feel as soon as my application for blahaj is approved that I will be mainly there though I made kbin and beehaw logins just in case.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I made this user account as a throwaway specifically after the instance admin actively supported am activist mod that was repeatedly harassing me, it was supposed to be fuck_lemmy.world but apparently you can't use punctuation in usernames.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The admin you had a talk with posted the conversation and he was VERY fair towards you.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sorry but no, and no amount of magical language will change the fact that I called out harassment, violated zero community rules, and was threatened with censure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Lol magical language. I GO BACK TO FARK WAH WAH

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

beehaw defederated from lemmy world

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Try Hexbear, I think you'd be a good fit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hexbea

Also aren't all Lemmy instance Federated so the will still run into those users 😂

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't care about right wing users, hell I'm even willing to talk with them.

My problem is right wing activist mods and the site admin that supported them.

Federated servers cannot exert mod authority on other instances, did you not bother reading my post at all?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I’m just here for the funny comments that is all good luck.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Then probably go browse a humor community instead of an informative one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, this one works just fine. Thank you though.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Then don't be so surprised when people point out your shitposting

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you call that shit posting then I see why you don’t fit in anywhere.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

You really have zero idea of how many hundreds of online communities I have been part of since the late 80s...

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Hexbear

After one look at their community list, hell FUCK no.

Just because I don't want to deal with magapedes doesn't mean I'm a tankie
