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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

More so to apologize but yeah rules should be applied equally since there was another guy in those same threads although i don't agree with the point they were making.
I'd be really curious to know if you DM other community members with the same concern after you've been reprimanded for breaking the rules.
I can send you my login credentials if you want.
Oh I have to do the work for you, can't just be honest?
I do think it is weird how concerned you are about the rules being applied equally in a community that you aren't even welcome in to begin with. It's not your concern.
If a community wants to use downvotes as a way of communicating displeasure or rule breaking, that's their prerogative.
I was just offering. I'm all about rule following everywhere, not just in a particular community and breaking the rules should definitely be downvoted. Once again I'm apologizing for the human error on that comment.
You’re more than welcome to become a mod of your own community where you can be sure the rules are applied as you prefer.
Yeah but that aside I think most people enjoy or prefer fairness. Like what's the point of rules if they aren't fair, then they're more like suggestions than rules.
What would you have done if you got one of us in womensstuff to admit the rules weren’t applied fairly?
There's not really anything to do. If I was a member of the sub I would suggest changing that and likely leave if that wasn't going to happen. Since I'm not a member there's really not much of anything to do beyond answering questions like the one you gave me.
Then why DM me to ask in the first place?
I'm sincerely asking. I want you to really think about it.
If there was nothing for you to do about it, since you are not a member, why are you so concerned with womensstuff applying the rules of our community fairly?
Well it's more so a general concern but for that particular instance there was someone else in breach of the same rule I was. I messaged to apologize and just say hey, hope y'all got that other guy too kinda. Didn't seem harmful to me but if you took offense then I apologize for that as well.
I think you need to learn a bit more about how the fediverse works before you start stepping in to make sure moderators are doing their jobs correctly.
You can find the moderators for the community listed in their sidebar. It's also possible to look at other user's modlogs depending on the instance you're using. You would have been able to see that the other user got their comment removed and were also banned from the community.
Instead, you sought out individuals from the community to tattle on them. That is almost always going to leave a bad taste in people's mouths.
Honestly I wasn't thinking that deep about it. Was far more casual of a statement than this makes it out to seem. My main intention was to apologize which is what I wrote first. It's not like I wrote an opus on the injustices of a particular community or anything. It was like a five word quip. So I apologize again it came off like that to you.
The women’s communities on Lemmy get brigaded by men who are incensed at there being a space they’re not welcome in a lot. Daily.
When you reach out via a DM to tattle and, from my point of view, whine about others getting better treatment than you, it feels like yet another man trying to push boundaries.
We’re allowed to maintain our community the way we want and we’re allowed to reject criticism.
I appreciate that you weren’t trying to break the rules.
Honestly I ended up there by accident because I only browse all and new and it was my bad for not checking the sub rules first. Likewise, I feel like we've gotten some resolution between you and I and I wish you the best (◍•ᴗ•◍).
I wish you the best as well! I'm sure we'll run into each other again, this place is small. I'm glad we thoroughly talked that out :)
