why is it called "no stupid questions" when people keep posting stupid questions? (lemmy.uhhoh.com)

The idea is for anyone to get to air out their lack of understanding or lay out what they feel they might be ignorant about without judgement since their intent is to become less ignorant and more informed about some gap in their learning or understanding of whatever they're asking about

Yeah, but by posting there they know that their questions are stupid but they ask anyway.

Ah i get it, they're parsing it as "No stupid [fucking] questions {allowed here}" as opposed to "we dont consider any question stupid so ask and we'll answer without passing judgement"
