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.

MODERATORS
It's a battle of political ideologies.
ml is administered by the creators of Lemmy, they are openly socialist/communist/tankie depending on your own ideology, ml was chosen to represent Marxism-Leninism, and so the people it attracted are generally also adhering to this kind of ideologies.
.world was created for Redditors exile, as such, it is mostly center-left to social democrat.
Political extremists tend to extremise everything, typically a tankie will call you a Nazi/fascist if you disagree with them. That's one of your answer.
Secondly, some ml people are frustrated that Lemmy is not their own little thing anymore for them and their friends, as world is the biggest instance now by far. So they show some kind of instance-xenophobia, not much different from the Great Replacement theory: "we are being culturally replaced through mass migration".
Not all .ml people are like that of course. In my experience, it is enough to block a few tankies to get back to civilized discussions.
I have had way more issues with .ml communities than .world
ML was basically designed to be an echo chamber, it’s right there in the name.
FTFY (though, I'm mostly being sarcastic here - like most things, moderation there is a mixed bag from community to community).
Everyone has. That place is a toxic shithole.
I haven't.
give it more than 14 days.
A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.
I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.
I mean... a toxic shithole? Really??
I think of it as more of a cancerous shithole.
A toxic, cancerous shithole of vapid pissfarts incessantly salivating on themselves while climbing over one another to be top edgelord in a community that will eternally fail to produce anything remotely resembling neither edge, nor lords.
I made the mistake of being an anarchist on ml and hexbear.
Waay, waaaaaay too many tankies getting insanely pissed off and swarm when you criticize (point out obvious facts, really) any non US/Western countries or allies along anarchist lines.
It rapidly devolves into idpol, rants and tirades that are barely related to the topic or comment, Fox News style 'I'm just asking questions in good faith' which are obviously not in good faith if you're older than maybe 10.
I dare someone to go ml or grad or hex and attempt to have a serious and thorough conversation about the Sino-Vietnamese war. Or Uighurs. Or the Holodomor. Or whether the concept of self-determination applies to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Palestine at the same time.
I remember at one point explaining a meme that popped up on some China's social media site that boiled down to 'Deng Xiaoping's reforms have led to Chinese women craving giant Black cocks', and all of them being just fine with incels and racism when its not Westerners doing it.
Craziest part is when they horseshoe so hard that you have 'communists' arguing that LGBTQ are degenerate vermin. Although that is more rare, it does happen.
EDIT: Its somewhat sad, as it is great fun when everyone is dogpiling on some new latest insane western neocolonialism or corporate incompetence/hellscape type stuff, but I treat those places like Ravenholm:
We don't go there anymore.
That's an instaban from hb, grad, and .ml, did you report that post?
I've seen bans there for Calling out horseshoe theory. As if it's a slur
No, I was already banned from a bunch of communities for discussing the aforementioned things and I just blocked the instances ... 6 months ago I think?
Anarchists aren't allowed to report queerphobia on Hexbear. Because Hexbear keeps banning anarchists.
One of the admins, Nakoichi, is an anarchist. But please point me at the queerphobia, I'm not banned from hb, I'll report it, I have faith they'll do something about it.
This is false. Anti-AES anarchists are banned, because sectarianism is banned.
That's the hypocrisy that pisses me off the most. I don't know how someone can support resistance by any means for Palestinians but seriously suggest Ukrainians are nazis for resisting an imperialist invasion.
PS: there's at least 2 anarchist instances on Lemmy 😉
Slightly off topic, is db0 one of the anarchist instances you're referring to? I know it's a generally leftist instance, but don't know much more detail than that
Yes, that's my instance :) it's run by anarchists and has an anarchist CoC and general vibe. slrpnk is the second.
I'm such a dunce, I didn't spot your username 🤦
Thought I was asking a db0 random, not the NaN himself
I like db0 because it reminds of how cool the 'you wouldn't download a car' commercials made piracy look. They were right, it is cool.
If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.
The culture where these sorts of blatant lies are accepted without question is my biggest problem with .world. You can have whatever actual beliefs you want, but lying like this is really despicable.
Please show any sources for this garbage, these are all bannable offenses on Grad, Hexbear, and .ml.
Oh people have tried I'm sure. They are banned now.:-)
I’ve yet to see anyone in .world ban someone simply for having a political affiliation. The tankie communities flat-out ban for being “liberal.”
Granted, it’s been a while since I e seen this happen, the admins/mods there do not hide their bias.
I'm not against eating ass, but it depends who's ass it is.
First off, I'm only eating female ass. Secondly, she's gotta be above 25 years old...and even that's kinda young. Thirdly, she's gotta shower well. I want that butthole to be CLEAN! And lastly, I gotta love her. I'm not just gonna go out on a first date at The Olive Garden, and then go home to her place and start eating ass! Hey, how'dya do? MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH!!! No, I have to have a connection to her.
So I'm not "No Eat Ass", but I'm not 100% pro "Eat Ass" either. But I guess you guys would just call me a centrist, and I'd get attacked from both sides for not being far enough on their side.
I mean.......which flavor are the enemas?
Look at what this country has come to!
I first ate my partner’s ass after dancing at a rave for hours, at 2AM, on copious amounts of MDMA, no shower.
I’m undoubtedly Team Eat Ass.
Extremism :- (
“Nazis” flooding lemmy to replace the poor tankies (c. 2023):
