Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want to provoke here.

No more low effort posts please.

      Doesn’t mean it fit in this community. Yeah it was probably fine to let one of those threads go by, but the second was too much.

      I honestly didn’t think they fit and I checked the rules to see what was going on because I assumed this was a community similar to askreddit.

      Well, it was way more interesting than the usual stuff here. So much about “thought provoking”.

        “How do you rate a stick?” is a pretty interesting question, and it as asked implicitly by that post. I’m in favor of posts like that

      Why was it so much upvoted ?
      What does it say about the average let me use her Lemmy user ?
      is there a disconnect between users and moderators ?
