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.

How about asking why you lose the argument instead of trying to label all this crap.
It's like you're watching your 12th "how to build a full stack application" video while they've already finished their 2nd project.
End of the day what they use to succeed is effort. We don't. Look at the answers here telling you it's pointless to engage. That's why they succeed online. Those people
Is this a joke? Analysis of techniques would be literally asking why an argument were lost, if an argument was indeed lost. Of course you're making a lot of assumptions there, and I agree you're not making an effort
Analysis just leads you further down the incorrect path. The answer is in the title. "Overwhelm" the only answer is we all need to make more content and to share and disseminate it. You see someone commenting against one of these bad faith actors, we need to overwhelm them. We need to get better at having fun while doing it. Inside jokes, memes whatever. Just have fun and make 5 messages for every 1 they attempt. We need to act, not study. By hoping we can study this stuff and figure out how to logically argue against them will only lead to more people disengaging because it's impossible and not fun.
This seems so dumb, like people have simply put names to the typical tropes of online conversation, it's a very typical meta discussion that you don't seem to want to engage in, so why waste the time?
Your solution doesn't make sense, just take things less seriously! Are you the fucking Joker, this is serious shit. It only works if there are more likeminded people who share your "logical" opinion. If your solution is to always just overshout, you are agreeing to the will of the majority, which we call the tyranny of the majority in the United States. What happens when the majority you picture yourself as flips to the minority in the argument.
Congrats, you've just lost everything! Welcome to 2025. A zero sum game where if someone asks a genuine question with good discussion, people are going to come in to try to flip the table.
shhh....
it takes 10 gallons of intelligent discussion to dilute an ounce of stupid and the OC was about 400 gallons of pure unfiltered retarded stupidity.
they did have a point though, sometimes the only way to win is to not play.
