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 prefer being hailed with a greeting of 'oi oi saveloy!'
I would do my best to accommodate that because that would be fun. I try to accommodate everyone's request because it's manners.
Its funny, my mom used to say 'everybody has three names, the one thirm mom gave them, the one the like to be called and sorry, I didn't catch your name'
Somw how it doesn't apply to pronouns though that would be crazy.
Most people will respect pronouns. My best friend is trans and her fear is people wouldn’t. She’s had zero issues with it.
Americans are oddly respectful. It’s the way we are raised. They may shit talk you behind your back but in person they’ll typically be polite.
We had another co worker who has the same fear. Several people said they’d use her of old pronouns but in the end everyone respect her new pronouns.
They/them is the only one I’ve seen troubles with. I won’t use it because I screw it up. It’s not the way I speak. That’s the only one I’ve seen issues with. As long as someone sticks to he/him or she/her I’ve yet to see an issue in my social circle.
Its probably not that people are shit talking behind backs and more that the people who really care are extremely vocal. Everyone that is indifferent or supportive probably doesn't have the need to bring it up every chance they get. They have other things that worry them.
I’m partial to “Yo!” myself.
