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.

Given that threads is aping Mastodon, could they come after front ends here? Or is this just megacorp slap fighting/ an unexpected (but maybe predictable) outcome of the Twitter staff purges?

It seems like it's just Elon throwing a big old man baby fit.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s due to Meta hiring a bunch of the ex-Twitter employees Elon screwed over.

Mastodon didn’t do that, so isn’t in his crosshairs.

Just a suggestion, you might want to insert the word "allegedly" somewhere in there because Meta is refuting that assertion.

"To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing" - Andy Stone, Meta's communications director

edit: yes I know that doesn't preclude the possibility of Meta hiring former Twitter employees and not making them part of the Threads team.

Obviously a good thing to keep the "allegedly", but that statement doesn't refute what the other person claimed. They said Meta hired them, not Meta put them in the Threads team.

Also I obviously don't know how Meta is structured, but where I'm at, it wouldn't be unusual for someone not part of a team to still talk to members of a team, give advice, etc.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Good point.

[–] dragnucs@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks like the fight between elon and mark they were talking about.

[–] BNE@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, damn - that cage match would have been one hell of a pay-per-view.

What a weird corporate hellscape we inhabit, lol.
