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.

What about trackers from other companies?
Not an expert in this and someone can correct me or expand...
In the case of imgur or reddit, with embedded content like image previews or when following a link the destination site can know where you came from. Here a link that explains it better than I could.
In the case of Google, if you use chrome or search lemmy.world through Google and then click it from the search results, google knows
And if you don't have any tracking protection via browser or extensions, there can be tracking using cookies for example.
Cloudflare is probably a false flag detected by this site
And in my particular case following your link it told me "No tracking detected on this site at present." As seen in this image
Does this mean that users can't avoid data collection?
There are ways to block most data collection, as I said an example of this is using a browser with built in blockers for tracking and/or extensions.
The other part is on the user hands, proprietary services and apps are always going to track something even if minimal, like I said using Chrome or Google search or visiting reddit or opening an embedded image preview from imgur are totally on the user, and could be avoided.
I use Lemmy through apps. My firewall sometimes detects different trackers when using apps.
That's a very specific use case that would need you to provide more information, like what app are you using and what trackers are being reported, and that I particularly don't know if I can help you with.
Maybe if you post said information, someone else can help you.
Here's more of the page, that looks like it explains more about the "who" just by dividing it by categories (I found it useful, at least)
It looks like it's just being amazingly overzealous by flagging any request to any site they don't like as a 'tracker'.
Exactly
So what do you consider a "tracker", if not the
beacon.jsfromcloudflareinsights.com(which lemmy.world currently uses)?I'm not talking about Cloudflare. I'm talking about Reddit, Imgur, etc.
