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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Well, considering that Trump is a small part of the problem, which includes:

  • Oligarchs heavily funding politics, corrupting the entire system and most (but not all) politicians
  • Decades now of propaganda supporting extremist right-wing propaganda and pushing centre-right propaganda
  • Control of SCOTUS
  • Republican party is essentially fascist
  • Large support base thanks to the propaganda

When Trump goes, all of those problems remain. And the people who "woke up" to the problem of Trump will go to sleep again, and the number of people caring to resist fascist will drop again.

So we're basically fucked.

The peaceful solution:

  • Continue to talk online and convince people of the problems, which should help encourage:
  • Protests, which by themsevles accomplish little - except to show how many of us are willing to stand up, and how many realize the problems exist, and also the online talk helps encourage:
  • People need to run for office who are progressives - little offices, so they can build up to larger offices. We need more AOC and other similar types.
  • We need to increase the protests and demand change. We need to shut down the nation and force change. Which means we need a plan / demands, and people to run for office.

The less peaceful solution:

  • Well, I won't go into details. I don't like it because it means even more people die, and as someone who believes this life is all we have and is therefore precious, I'd prefer not to see this happen.
  • I will suggest that guillotines are not a bad place to start, though.

(Then again, how many are dying from fascist policies already? Healthcare, poverty, violence… thanks to Republican making things worse)
