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?
IMO I believe these types of communities, although entertaining and enlightening, are index farms used by governments to identify users and fingerprint them to their real life identities.
I see far too many generalized questions like, “what is your favorite color” “when you were a kid what was the most famous musician” “where were you the day the towers fell” “what’s your favorite brand of cheese” etc…
just sayin, if it’s not happening now, it will be one day.
What’s your mother’s maiden name? What’s the street you grew up on? First pet?
