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.

Technically in name it's gone. The remnants of it carry on. Hopefully the public figures and creators migrate to a different platform already because hearing less about Musk would be better for everybody.

[–] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just curious what Musk did wrong. Seems like ever since he said there would be an organized movement against him, what he's said has come true. Makes the hate feel manufactured by a movement.

I shouldn't feed the trolls...

I suppose the better question is, what did he do right?

  • Taunted Twitter CEO, culminating in what constituted a valid offer to purchase at a very inflated price
  • Tried to back out of his legally made offer
  • Fired the vast majority of staff that knew how to run the site
  • Fired all of the staff in charge of ethics
  • Stopped paying rent and other bills, despite having used the location/services
  • Demanded employees devote their non-sleeping lives to the company
  • Ignored all his other companies, from which he continues to draw paychecks (ok, maybe ignoring them is for their best interest)
  • Failed to pay promised severance
  • Change algorithm to promote his voice above all other
  • Rebrand off of one of the most recognizable names and logos in the world

And these are the ones just off the top of my head.

Idk he posted about 2 or so years ago saying he was about to he attacked by the left and ever since then its been happening.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or you know, people just began to learn about all the shitty stuff he’s done. For example, baselessly accusing a rescue diver of being a pedophile for having the gall to tell him they didn’t need his help on a rescue. Guy’s a prick

[–] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dudes definitely a bit extra, but he's pushing the human race in so many ways, I'm willing to give him a pass.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You can appreciate the good things SpaceX is doing without waving away all the shitty anti-labor bs that Elon does. I certainly do

[–] ThePac@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

It's interesting, right? Announce you're about to be attacked by the left, then take a hard right turn and spout conservative bullshit. What a soothsayer!

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

"attacked" = being called out for shitty behaviour. If he can't handle that that's no one else's issue but his.
