Look, ignoring the bait title, I think it useful to talk about this.

This kind of community only works when people can freely ask almost anything without worrying about it being outright removed.

But when it comes down to it, part of what makes communities like this worth using is hindered by gatekeeping and the "yes there are" mentality.

Sure, it's menat to be the kind of thing where you can ask weird shit and have a decent chance of getting a decent reply. That's always going to come with bad faith questions, but it's worth it

See, we can all scroll by the shit we think is genuinely stupid and/or bad faith. We aren't required to respond. And we shouldn't if we don't have anything relevant to say.

So, bluntly: bugger off with your gatekeeping and condescension. Vote according to your conscience, report if you feel something is really wrong, then move the fuck on.
