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.

I’m not saying anything about being “too woke”, no. I’m saying it’s too political now, being run by mods and admin that push their political agendas and censor and ban everyone they disagree with. It goes both ways, “far left” and “far right”. It just so happens though that the admins have made the site rules more “far left” meaning unless you play along with their talking points and ideologies you get banned.

This is the exact thing you see in liberal circles - just say any objections to the politics is complaining about “being too woke”.
I’m basing it off literally seeing things people get banned for. You can see all comments that get removed by admins/mods by going to reveddit.com. You get banned for “hate speech” for daring to say something as controversial as biological males shouldn’t compete in sports against biological females.
I’m not a conservative btw. Have never voted for the Conservative Party in my country. I’ve voted for our “far left” independents more than I’ve voted for even our regular “liberals”.
As I said, Reddit has gotten too political across the board, irrespective of which way it leans. If they banned people for being pro abortion I’d be against that since I’m pro abortion rights. It’s just a fact that Reddit leans very left in its moderation.
I’ll ask you a question - do you think it was a conservative or a liberal that made “misgendering” a hate speech violation and ban worthy on Reddit?

It’s not dependant on the community - it’s a site rule.
I wasn’t banned for “misgendering” - or anything else - so you can stop with that.
Avon with trying to dismiss a differing opinion as “oh you think think it’s too woke”. It’s like you didn’t read anything I wrote.

Forgot one, deleteypants.
Please stand by your authoritarian views going forward.
So much wrong with this.
Firstly, misgendering falls under the “no hate speech” site ToS. Not sub reddit rules - site wide.
Secondly, admins are very active in censoring opinions and taking down posts. Again - reveddit.com. You can literally see that they removed posts very, very frequently. Not just mods - admins. They show differently.
Admins ban you from the site, not the sub. Mods can only ban you from the sub.
I also never said I don’t have a political leaning. I do - to the left. That doesn’t mean that I automatically agree with every liberal policy or thought. I’m anti abortion but I’m pro free speech. I don’t believe anyone should be censored for saying something.
People like you always make the same mistake of assuming that literally everything that could be considered “conservative” is automatically wrong and should be censored. That’s what you’re saying here.
And again - no, not site wide banned. I had absolutely received a 1 day site wide ban from admin for a post that said that no amount of hrt can get rid of the natural differences that come with biological sex, citing “hate speech” despite there being nothing wrong with what I said, along with science backing it up. I deleted my account months after that - the api changes but more so the extreme control being exerted by the admins after that were the last straw.
Thanks also for confirming that you are a Reddit mod or frequent reporter of content you don’t like. People like you are what ruined the site because you can’t tolerate differences of opinions. Literally what I said in my original post 😂
I’ll ask again since you still haven’t answered - do you think it is a liberal or conservative policy to ban misgendering and questioning of gender ideology?
asdfasdfsdfasdf
It's covered by this:
They deem any talk critical of gender ideology as an attack on marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.
It's also explicitly covered here on your link:
It then lists "gender identity" as a protected class.
Damn, wasn't aware of this since I just left reddit behind.
Classifying gender critical speech as "hate speech" for "attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people" exists, so answer the question please. Do you think that would be a democrat or republican application of the rule?
If reveddit no longer works than that becomes pretty hard unfortunately. I do love how you're acting like it's a conspiracy theory that reddit is getting more and more left leaning though. It's fact. Go create a burner account and go in to any article about gender or trans people in sport and comment something along the lines of "trans women are still biological males and should not be able to compete against biological females" and you'll be banned, guaranteed.
