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.

Joe Rogan is a bigot. If your friend subscribes to bigot content, they probably harbor some bigoted beliefs. Any sane, non-bigoted person would recognize the fucked up shit that gets platformed on Joe Rogan content, and promptly unsubscribe.
Bigot is a strong word for him. I guess if you are pro-trans athletes in sports you would find him that way, but I can't really think of other issues where he expresses close minded views? Fucking guy learns and changes his mind when presented with evidence, which is a huge reason I can listen to him. Even if some of the subjects and guests are kinda fucked up or dull or misinformed.
Like, tulsi gabbard last week reading a thing from the UN and totally either misunderstanding it, or worse, twisting it into saying something it 100% wasn't. And Rogan was just kinda like "I dunno maybe" as he's not very confrontational, very often.
I mean off the top of my head, he laughed at a friend who "joked" about coercing women in to giving blowjobs by threatening to withhold gigs from them, he's hosted Jordan Peterson and Matt Walsh, the first "merely" transphobic, the second, a self confessed fascist and transphobe. He's also suggested that supporting trans folk is a sign of society collapsing
As the person you're replying to said, if someone subscribes to Rogan, they likely hold some bigoted beliefs, because the guy is absolutely a bigot, and actively chooses to spotlight and empower other bigots
well, i don't know fully. neither of us speaks english as a first language
For all Comments:
If this just keeps going down. We are forced to remove this comments here or lock/delete this post.
Directed especially to @Varyk@sh.itjust.works @AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world
Thanks
You mean our comment threads are crashing the post somehow?
It gets in the Rule 5 area. Already removed enough comments.
Users kept calling people bigots without evidence, but you've only removed the comments requesting evidence of bigotry rather than the unsupported original insults.
That reaction is not in accordance with the posted rules of NSQ.
Its against the rules that i didnt banned you both. The first one is personal opinion. The rest was just insulting. And not relevant to the post.
Thanks for responding, by the way
The first comments by the other party are unsubstantiated accusations, I agree, although my first reply is a direct contradiction providing evidence from within the podcast they mentioned.
After that, the person called me a bigot and gaslighting, words they are using incorrectly and have no evidence for, which I pointed out.
I understand if you are basing this decision on your personal opinion of rogan, but this person is just name-calling without evidence, baiting comments(against NSQ posted rules) and I'm providing contradicting evidence to their incorrect and unsupported name-calling.
Thank you.
