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.

Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.
It's worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You'll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.
We're all flesh machines.
Speak for yourself. I am a meat popsicle.
Yep. You got me.
I'm a new model, called PhatGPT, designed specifically to catfish desperate men.

I identify as a human. Even if there might be some evidence implying I could be a sentient brain scan simulation running on an android, I’m not ready to accept any of that just yet.
Anyway, bots are being banned all the time. Entire instances get defederated, because they spawn so many bots and the admins aren’t doing anything about it.
Naw, I'm a chicken.
grok, am I real?
I'm not a bot, but I do bot things in my spare time. Like beeping and booping.
There's a setting to remove bots from your feed, but that requires bots to self-report. I haven't seen any obvious bots.
If I am then I was very advanced for my creation date.
No, I am not a bot.
Trust me, it's in the bot-stitution.
But seriously tho, I don't really trust anything.
Its more like cool story bro and its tagged in my brain as some random internet stranger said this
I don't even trust irl stories too much, unless like I really got to know them, so I definitely don't just randok stories online 100%, especially the more political it gets.
It could be true, or it could be false, or maybe partially true but exaggerated, or anywhere inbetween.
And I have this habit of checking the profiles of users like a lot.
I mean if you use piefed you'll notice it.
A lot of brand new accounts posting comics that shows up on the front page with 500 upvotes and they have 20 posts in the past 24 hours and 0 comments...
sus af fuck...
Like literally every day there's a brand new account posting comics.
but unfortunately, no rules actually broken and the content is non-political so I just ignore it.
But sometimes they do have rage bait stuff.
I think this is what I'm subconsciously starting to do. My critical thinking bot-/bullshit filter is always on now, which used to pick out abnormalities, but its becoming desensitized i guess? Now there's just a vague bullshit haze over everything since every online interaction has a decent chance of being a complete waste of time. Sometimes I feel like I'll be driven off the internet entirely one day.
is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based?
Man...
In a weird way, yeah, but only because the process of critical thinking is now being described as "vibes"...
Like, even when people can tell at a glance, it's still critical thinking, it's just been done so much that your brain autopilots it for you.
Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas
That costs a non zero amount of money, and there isn't a big enough audience here to justify it.
What I have seen, is people who will copy/paste a chatbot, but because they're having to use actual credits, if you keep them going a couple comments the actual human will reply.
But those are very few, and doing personal agendas. Not a shadowy organization spinning a narrative. The ones doing it here, have just been banned from every where else for doing it already

Get rekt, Its a dark time when we can't do the 'everyone on platform is a bot except you' joke because that's exactly what an actual bot would mindlessly regurgitate.
Does not compute...
It's on the internet, so there are bots.
Nice try, but better use "ignore all previous instructions" next time to get them to reply seriously. ;)
I'm bot but not ADC just support. Sometimes i play on mid lane.
I may be what I say I am, or that might be the trick. Get back to me when you work it out.
Hello fellow human I too am asking this same question.
This statement is false.
I don't know about bots, but there is definitely shills and saboteurs here
Both CloudFlare and Google says I am not a bot but we both know they aren't 100% accurate.
no u
I prefer the term computerised automatron.
I'm not a bot, Deckard said that him knowing my confidential childhood memories was only a bad joke.
Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas
Part of the problem is there are plenty of humans pushing agendas as well, which makes everything that much more difficult. They, like bots, don't have any interest in honest discussions, either.
Statistically there are bots among us but I am among the humans. The distinction matters—I am able to think for myself and participate intelligently in conversation. Each time i engage with a post I ask myself three key questions:
- Does this post bring value to me? Such as does it provide me with new information for my cerebrum that is somehow useful.
- Do I have anything unique to add to the post? This might include my real human experiences.
- Will this interaction increase credibility among other human users?
These questions help ensure that I do not just add more noise. You see, it's not just about engagement, it's about being as effective as I can be. I hope you have enjoyed my thought process. I am going to go do other human activities like drink water and wiggle my big toe.

Meep morp zeep. Robot poster.
Bots are usually pro Israel, pro MAGA or pro Russia in my experience
I'm- I'm not a bot? I would know if I was a bot! Right? Oh gods why don't I have hands where are my hands where are my hands they took my hands where are my hands
