No Stupid Questions
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.

Has to be the current POTUS simply because there are more people with more access to more places to post ridicule. Add to that the whole marketing drive for 'engagement' (especially ragebait) and AI, and you end up with a volume of ridicule greater than ever before possible in human history. In the future, perhaps we can get the bots to shout at one another somewhere easy for humans to ignore.
I love how even though your answer is "this one", it's not based off of angry emotion with nothing else behind it. You make a logical point where it's hard to make the argument for any other president. It also means future presidents will probably break the current levels as more efficient technologies emerge.
Notice, the question was NOT "Who's the most ridiculed POTUS in history by humans?". There's a lot of wiggle room for still being correct while also artificially stacking the deck. There's a little over 8 billion humans on earth. You could create 88 billion bots, and now you'd have the bots united message of ridicule heavily outweigh and thus manipulate the narrative to other real humans.
"President Tom Smith is absolutely HATED by everybody......everyone online is saying it. It must be true."
And now suddenly a real human has made up their political views, based on one corporate entity shaping the online message. That's why musk bought twitter. You can claim bluesky and mastodon exist, and they do, but in the mainstream they do not replace twitter. Twitter is still the dominant way for that microblog style communication. bluesky and mastodon combined don't come near their real numbers of twitter.
But how much of modern day twitter is actual real humans? See where I'm going with this?
The thing with "this one" is he was president for 2 terms, unlike the previous one. The others before him in this millenium were a bit less off the rails, hence less ridicule.
Bots do sway the results towards every current president, but this one is a bit... Specific.
But whatever the next one may be, short of insane choices like Kim K, Elon, Kanye, MTG, etc. The ridicule will be much less than for Trump.
My exact thought. Obama caught hell, but there's more of us now and more of us engaged, in both politics and social media.
