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.

Yes but that would kinda be bad for privacy. Fediverse is already pretty bad at it and i don't want it to be worst.
I mean it's social media, on the internet. Does anyone really have any expectation of privacy?
Yes. Tell that to EU's GDPR if you disagree. If someone want to delete something they pretty much should have the right to erase that from the database. Making it available again will defeat the purpose.
We shit on reddit when they refused to delete our comment, seems like everyone already forget about it.
Under the GDPR, they have the right to delete their name and other personal data from the database, not their content.
Some exceptions apply such as if they wrote their name or other personal details into their comment. Those parts would be covered by the GDRP but that's indeed exceptional, not the norm.
The comments we write here are "only" protected by copyright.
How exactly that manifests? Who knows. It's the same as IRC logs or mailing lists archives. A quick not at all exchaustive search revealed no relevant legal cases.
This isn't really true. GDPR is mostly about private and personally identifiable information. If you broadcast something publicly (which is basically what happens whenever you post or comment on Lemmy) you have very little protections. Even if you do have enough protection to get people do delete it you would have to go to each "archive" one-by-one.
Basically if you post it on Lemmy you should treat it as public forever. Just like just about any other public space on the internet.
There's a good reason Discord stopped letting moderators hang on to people's deleted pictures actually LOL
Not that you should ever under any circumstances "hand it to" Discord
