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.

Because the pedantic shit that the socialist get away with in .ml, Hexbear, and Lemmygrad doesn’t fly here. And because of this, they accuse .World of bias while completely ignoring the fact that their own instances ban people for simply being “liberal.”
Yes, exactly, except the .ml and Hexbear communities aren't really socialist, it's just a facade for their authoritarian propaganda.
Sure, there are some actual communists/socialists there, but they're the minority.
I got into an argument with some hexbear users on their instance. Curiously despite all my comments going against the hexbear consensus the only ones that got deleted were the ones that called out another user for using a pay to see documentary. I ironically said something along the lines of "nothing says socialism like paying for propaganda" and then had that comment quickly deleted. My crackpot unproven theory is that the moderators of that instance are deliberately trying to sell information (propaganda) to impressionable leftists to make a quick buck.
Interesting, do you have a link to that thread?

On revisiting the instance was .ml not hexbear oops there's the first hole in my theory XD
CW: Korean war, Vietnam war
Here's the comment that my reply got deleted to https://hexbear.net/comment/5439961
**I'm not 100% sure this is the right one since all my replies got deleted, I remember clicking a link and being taken to a purchase page but I might've googled it and found it that way.
Thanks!
Drag is an anarchist and doesn't much like liberal LW or authoritarian ML.
