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.

MODERATORS
So if you notice the user push back from the oldest of the three posts to the newest definitely quieted down in the newest post. Also as multiple people and myself suggested is to allocate all the automation to itsnown accessible instance that users can pull from or block themselves same as it is now.
As for the issue with bot comments, I'm not suggesting to change anything thst would cause Lemmy to allow bot users comments. I 100% agree that would be the worst.
What I would most like to see is a solution to bring more content to the more niche communities that are obviously struggling to keep relevancy due to the low volume of active users not providing enough content in their own to keep these niche communities active.
How do you plan to prevent bot user comments? I think that's an important part of how this goes. Several users (including myself) have had hit and miss success with blocking instances. Block evasion is absolutely a thing here with users too. I really do want to understand what the plan is for implementation, if the communities and instances are going to be warned, and if this instance will have admins and moderators and most importantly tools to combat some of the problems I foresee from this.
I dont know how they do it now but I assume there is something because I have oy seen a couple bot responses but they've were on point and not spam.
An assumption isn't good enough. If you want to implement this you'll need a plan. It won't be successful unless the community interacts with it.
