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.

I have read a few people mention it being an issue on here, but now I am starting to see it myself, blatant bots posting really crappy AI images. I do not want this to turn into Facebook with shrimp Jesus, so I'm just wondering what can be done to prevent bots from polluting the airwaves here. Any ideas, or work being done on this front?

There's one account that mods a shit ton.of AI image communities...

If you block that one account, it will.pretty much fix all of it. They're super weird and going off memory they mod an insane number of communities for AI images, so I wouldn't worry about pre-emptively blocking everyone, because it's just the one account posting most of it.

But as you see posts block the community.

It ain't that difficult.

But there's entire instances that the admins have lost it to AI brainrot already. That's where the communities are usually hosted and no amount of facts, logic, or even opinions and feelings will get those admins to "do something" about it.

The fediverse isn't centralized, you'll never "get rid of" any subject or topic. Because even if the big instances do, anyone can make a new one.

"Fighting" the people who's brains have been rotted by AI will never be productive and most likely drives them further into AI

Not sure why it still needs repeated so much, but:

Don't feed the trolls

Block them and move on.

That puts a lot of responsibility on users to solve the problem for themselves, which as you say, they never will. Seems like the fediverse is going to be destroyed by AI in the near future just like the rest of the internet has been.

And dogs will start marrying cats!

/S

What the actual fuck are you even talking about?

Seriously, nothing you're saying makes any sense.

[–] korendian@lemmy.zip -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Uh, what? You responded coherently to my original post, and now suddenly nothing I say makes sense? Are you bipolar or something?

You read my initial comment...

And thought it wasn't pointing out how you didn't know what you were talking about?

That's literally why I had to simplify and be blunt, and guess what?

It worked.

I had to really really dumb my comment down for you to understand it, and once you understood it, you got mad and accused me of having a mental illness...

Why would anyone ever try to help you when this is how you act?

Which likely explains why you have such fundamental misunderstandings.

If someone explains something to you, you either don't understand any of it, or get insulted someone didn't agree with you

Best of luck bro.
