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.

A personal request, based on this subject.
I would very much like to not be astroturfed/brigaded every 18 to 24 hours because I'm licensing my comments.
Usually the first comment is someone asking me why I'm using a license, then the second comment replying to the first comment is someone else chastising my intelligence and my usage of the license and saying I don't know what I'm doing, and then explaining the completely wrong terms why I'm licensing it, and then the first person from the first comment replies with the third comment saying how dumb or silly or funny I am for doing that, rinse / repeat.
(A funny aside, the pattern I described above, the third comment was identical text, with days separating the two occurrences, and then later on someone went back and changed the third comment on the second most recent occurrence to be worded slightly different, after the fact.)
Another one is I get someone who goes on very very long diatribes asserting law and legalities (even though when I ask them if they are a lawyer they never answer, or they say no), using many paragraphed comments to tell me in every way why I'm wrong, but then finishing their diatribe off with how they really don't care about the subject, but are just giving a friendly explanation to me why I'm getting downvoted, when I didn't ask, and when voting wasn't even being discussed.
And finally, the 10-15ish downvotes on every comment I'm making. (The one that really made me laugh was the one where I reply with one word, "Thanks".)
Just leave me the f alone. If you don't like seeing my comments with a license link, feel free to block me.
It's really becoming harassment at this point.
Thank you for reading.

Yeah all of this hate just feels unnecessary. I'm sorry that @[email protected] and you are going through this.
Just for the heads up I support you guys.
Its gotten even more aggressive today, both in this community, and in other communities that I'm posting in. Its following me around.

Well I think you could do a few things.
A) Talk to your admin about harassment and ask them to look into this when they can.
B) Start posting in communities that have a higher intolerance to this kind of behaviour (I'm thinking Beehaw communities)
C) Make a post on [email protected] and see if you can get even more people doing it.
I'm actually thinking of adding these to my posts as well now just to see more people's reactions. Do you know of a way to automatically add it to the end of your posts?
Edit: grammar and spelling.
Lemmy.World doesn't have a signature field at the account level, so I copy/paste the signature in.
This is the unformatted text that I'm copying/pasting ...

At the end of the day, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing. Its just a pain in the ass to open my inbox and see crap in there, is all. Wish the admins would step up.

Oh wait I forgot lemmy.world isn't federated with beehaw.org anymore so you can't use those communities. Because usually most of the kinds of comments you would be getting would be removed by now.
Well you can get a second account to join beehaw communities or again just reporting and all that stuff.
But honestly I really think you should make a post on [email protected] getting more people to do it because this is the kind of thing that would be interesting to them.

FYI I've found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.

Nice! Yeah I used my phone's text feature to send myself a text one time, and then just long-press on the text to copy the message and long-press in the Lemmy editor to paste the text.
My phone actually has a copy and paste memory feature of some sort, but i only see it when I copy, I don't see anything when I try to paste (only the last thing in the buffer that was last copied is pasted).

Thanks for the support 💗
I'm not very affected by it, honestly. It makes me chuckle that people get so offended about a link in a comment. Sometimes I respond, but quite often I block and move on.
Anti Commercial-AI license
You look through my history in the last fiveish days, you'll see an excessive amount of people attacking me for using the license/link. You can only block so much before admins really need to and should step in and 'tend to their garden', especially if its being done by astroturfers and it borderlines on harassment.
Plus blocking here doesn't keep them from seeing what you post and replying to it, only you seeing their replies. So I don't consider it as actual blocking.

Thank you, its appreciated.
Its so, irrational, for a single link in a comment.
I'm still of the thinking that its astroturfers trying to prevent licenses from being used (which if true, would REALLY like Lemmy.World admins to start handling the astroturfers). Either that, or its the non-'touch grass' anti-social crowd, which seem to rule here on Lemmy.
Never expected this level of a Spanish Inquisition. /queueMontyPython
