Here’s what the sidebar says: “A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought-provoking questions.”
And yet we keep seeing is:
- Is it possible (or difficult) to migrate an entire forum from vanilla to a lemmy instance?
- Is Tom Clancy’s daughter trans, or is it a character of his?
- Does anyone have a link for ace attorney 1 full game playthrough?
- Does anyone have suggestions for buying a webcam?
TBC? Most posters do indeed bring it with highly thought-provoking Q’s, and I love that. But matey, there must be better places for these Q’s, yeah?
Lol, this post breaches the rules. It is not thought provoking. There are no rules about meta posts being exempt.
If you don’t like posts as you think they are not good for the community, downvore and move on. Or direct people to a more correct community to post.
Helpful and constructive discussion is more important than rote following rules with such a small community.
Hyper moderation can work well for something like r/ask historians but is overkill for general discussion. Better discussion should drown out the chaff.
