Conversations are fun
Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
I don't want to ask Google. I want to have a conversation with real people. I don't even give a shit about the answer.
Google is trash these days anyways.
I agree some of the time. It's like people don't know how to use a search bar. It's not rocket science, you type the words you're interested in and go.
Now, is the question in a question community, like no stupid questions? Search for it first, lazy ass.
Actually, no stupid questions here does not work. It's filled with ridiculous spam "questions" that don't have any thought behind them.
I saw a post where someone asked about what is or is not on Reddit. “Thing I want to know +reddit”, first 5 results. Laziness.
Me ten years later, googling something and finding nothing but a bunch of responses telling somebody to Google it.

It's really just the one dude inundating asklemmy with questions that are easily googlable. He asked if there was a way to make a recovery USB today. That shit has been documented in detail 100 million times since the 90s.
I'd block don, but he occasionally does ask a banger.
He literally writes down a list of useless questions, and then spams the comm with them. I hate it, it makes the entire idea useless.
Yes, some stuff is good for fodder for discussion and questions or yo get nuance. A bunch is just engagement bait or laziness.
I wonder if partly AI chat ots make conversational questioning more nor all without people considering whether it is coming from a computer or a person.
I reckon its that, almost no activity or 90% sex related questions. Google has also become mostly garbage results now too.
I block them
Depending on the topic, it can be difficult to find good answers for some things that aren't AI slop, so I could see people asking here instead to get a real human answer.
