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.

As far as I remember it's part of Xitters Terms and Conditions that if you want to show a tweet you need to embed it, otherwise you're stealing it.
And for Xitter it's great, they still can change or delete it, they run javascript on the news page to get all your information, etc.
Lol what are they going to do if I break ToS ban me from Twitter?
They don't care about you but yes they would probably go after a newspaper and sue them for copyright infringement.
That suit would be practically impossible, as it's clearly Fair Use.
Fair use is a defense you have to make in court. And court is expensive.
Fair use only covers critique, parody and education, and only with a whole bunch of extra nuance (e.g. you can't just put a clip of yourself saying you didn't like a movie at the end of the movie and get away with hosting it on your site by claiming it was critique, and you can't download a PDF of a textbook and get away with it by claiming it was for education). Fair use lets you do a lot less than people think.
I hate Twitter but I despise articles that just post 3 tweets and provides a barebones AI recap of the conversation.
Can you imagine a precedent it would set. Twitter would never win.
If you're a large online news outlet doing this repeatedly: Probably sue you.
Wait, comments on Twitter are NFTs now?
