You're no fun :(
I just don't like low effort content being somewhere that could be a great spot for interesting, profound discussions. I'll take the L here, ain't a big issue worth getting worked up over, but I'll stand by my thoughts lol
Imma say just because you think something is low-effort doesn't mean its not interesting or pleasantly unusual, or that I didn't think people would find it enjoyable and possibly even...gasp, thought-provoking* (maybe it will be experience-provoking, does that also qualify as an ostensibly stupid question)... ~~The top reply says he works with the stuff and it can be~~ ~~stony savory like steak seasoning. Whoops~~ K turns out they were joking but the original rhetoric still applies ;)
Having said that, I agree with the guy below on a maybe better place for it but your stuff wasn't necessary nor was it likely to get me to fall in line
Yeah, I will apologize to ya for the unnecessary harshness. Could'a worded it much better than that. Leaving it as is for posterity's sake, but there was no excuse for it.
Good on ya for that, I appreciate you saying it. I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about it, not because its necessarily always 100% unfounded but because my curiosity and willingness to blurt things out like this has led to some really interesting experiences and insights and I won't risk that for ideals or PerfectForm type thinking.
We won't get as big as AskReddit, but even if we did, just sort by Best/Top for whatever period. Lemmy's still got lots of catching up to do in terms of content on tye quantitative side, we've done well generally with the qualitative already by itself by virtue of the self-selection inherent to even knowing what Lemmy is and having an account no less 😉I shitposted before I knew a name for it (like fairly recent development lol) and I saw the consequences, trust me, I'm much more particular now
