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.

That feeling after quitting your first mmorpg.
Gets less and less, don't have it anymore π
No. I rarely use an account for longer than 6 months anyway before creating a new one. Did the same on reddit. I've already lost count on how many I have on Lemmy. If you were able to link them all together somehow then you could figure out quite a bit about me which is the reason I keep making new ones but even then I wouldn't consider it an identity of any sort. Just a trail of information I've left behind.
It is a reflection of my identity, but not something which fully defines it.
Not so much an identity, but more of a reflection of myself.
It's kind of like I'm standing around the corner where the rest of you can't directly see me, and Social Media is a mirror that let's you look around the corner and see a glimpse of me, and also let's me see an image of all of you.
I don't think I'd feel like I lost a part of me if I my account got banned. But I could imagine feeling pretty angry if it was unfair, and frustration at losing access to save post or conversations with that I still reference.
But I do think an account is a 'face', just like in real life. I talk differently at work than with my friend, I speak differently to my boss and my students, and even different friend groups have different ways of talking or humour they enjoy. In that sense my lemmy account talks about some stuff I wouldn't bring up with certain people, and there's some stuff I wouldnt post on here.
Nah ieatpwns dont exist in meatpaace
Well I had multiple accounts so if so then I must be very disturbed lol
No, not really. An account/ profile is just that. An account to use to interact with said platform.
Especially on centralized platforms like Reddit, Instagram and such. It just means nothing. Your βkarmaβ on Reddit means nothing, can be manipulated etc. Account can be banned for no reason. Similar on any other platform.
Neither do I use any of these platforms for friends. I keep the accounts private from my usual real life. If I want to keep in touch with someone, itβll usually be through WhatsApp.
If I lose for example the Reddit or Instagram account. Thatβs okay. Sucks but okay. These platforms are filled with trash and moderated by trash (including the actual CEOs).
I keep meaning to interact on here more and actually post stuff, but then don't. This is almost exactly how my relationships with people IRL are. So... a little bit, yeah.
