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.

It seems deliberately confusing to me since there is no fundamental difference between voting now and voting on the day of the deadline, but the way it's discussed and referred to seems to imply that the correct day to vote would be waiting until the last minute instead of voting just getting it out of the way weeks ahead of time.

Okay thank you! Fully understand the subtle difference you described, and it's interesting. If you feel like saying more, what led you to use these characters? Are there spaces where they're used more commonly that I'm just ignorant about? I personally found it harder to read, but I'm probably just old lol and would need a bit longer, I do basically like the idea though.

Ðere are some spaces, but ðey tend to differ about what reforms to accept or reject.

Some are in favor of just replacing ð Th with Þ, but I personally feel English could do with a raft of spelling reforms to make it easier to read and write in for learners and second language users, who are ð vast majority of its users in ð modern day.

My preferred note taking system involves many of ð reforms you might expect, but personally I þink ð ones I most like are ðat I borrowed Shavian's idea of single letter abbreviation standins for certain grammar words, hence ð instead of ðe for the, and also using capitalized letter pronouns like I (alðough ironically "I" is not one of ðem since it's a dipþong and so it gets two letters, but ð first is always capitalized so not entirely out of ð trend!)

Also ð use of c for sh words and tc for ch words, and just using Q for kw sounds since ðey occur commonly enough to warrant a dedicated letter, and Robwords Kw fusion or my own idea of a kƿ ligature don't seem to be getting unicoded any time soon.
