I just grabbed a random example from Amazon but how about these split skateboard things called free skates? I have limited mobility at the moment but I’d try them out myself if I could!

I swear that scene is like a modern absurdist take of “Who’s on first?”

I feel like an anonymous survey would be much more privacy respecting than everyone commenting with their demographics…

I’ve read your post a few times and I’m still not sure what your actual question is. You may want to rephrase your post to better convey what you’re looking for (or maybe it’s just me!)

Where is everyone here in AskLemmy? in c/[email protected]

I know beggars can’t be choosers and if every rule breaking post was removed this community would probably only have a few posts left- but frankly, most of the questions just aren’t very good

(Meta) So many questions here are not open ended. Does anyone care? (lemmy.world)

There are a significant amount of questions here that do not follow the criteria in the sidebar, especially “1. Open-ended question” and “5. An actual topic of discussion”. It seems some folks want others to do research for them, or to troubleshoot some random issue.

This bugs me. Of course, I can ignore and/or downvote those posts, and I do. However, I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same way. I’m don’t want to stifle content and discussion on such a burgeoning platform, but could we do something about this?

Perhaps we could “tag” posts in some way (I know tags aren’t officially supported yet) or maybe we could redirect folks to a sister community for non-discussion questions. Or something else?

Just throwin’ it out there. If I’m alone in this, I’ll take my lumps and quietly sit back down.

EDIT: Already seeing good points in the replies! makes sense- probably a bit too early to be sticklers about topics.

EDIT 2: Really appreciate the responses and discussion! I appreciate the discourse and also not being downvoted to oblivion 😄

FINAL EDIT: Thanks to all who commented. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, but I do accept what most (including mods) have said- cracking down on the types of questions is not a priority when the community is still growing.
