why is this not one way or the other?

    we should just not have Lemmy at all and only read news articles, wikipedia and talk to ourselves

      I’m glad you asked. This is something I never realized how often I have brief flashes of curiosity about before I yolo it and never bothered looking up. As soon as I saw the title I was looking forward to reading what people had to say.

      I would argue that the purpose of Lemmy comments is dialogue, not for other users to be someone’s dictionary

        Okay, I get what you mean about some questions. I don’t think it applies to this post. 50 people commented because they thought it was worthwhile in some way. It’s better than Lemmy being dead. To me, there’s an element of humor and levity to nostupidquestions, somewhat like showerthoughts.
