!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.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain. That's not really the vibe I caught, but I could be projecting.
I, too, am upset at how echo chambery reddit became, and the knee-jerk censorship the mods displayed. I had an account permanently and immediately banned from politics for "hate speech" because I said that DINOs Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin were date rapists for bending the Democratic party over against its will after taking them out to a nice dinner. Over the next few weeks, I was silently banned from about a dozen other subs.
Turns out that the person behind it all was the same "powermod" who threw a colossal tantrum after being banned herself just a couple of weeks ago.
I disagree with you about globally deplatforming "the bad guys," because I don't get to choose who they are, and one day - like above - that "bad guy" could end up being you.
Don't like it, or can't deal with it? Block them.

if you get banned from enough subs you get that account suspended. try to come back as an alt and get banned again, your get ip banned from the site.
powermods would abuse their position as mods of multiple subs to silence and harass people they didn't like or agree with. I myself was a victim of this.
it doesn't matter if reddit is woke, what matters is the behavior. doesn't matter if the powermod in question is left or right leaning, they still basically have the power to ban someone from the entire site, merely because they don't like your politics, or worse, one comment you made on one sub.
even if that comment is bannable, doesn't mean you should be banned from unrelated subs, let alone the site. it's also double ridiculous when you are a power user or other significant person in the sub who has helped build the community and some power mod decides you're a threat to them.
