    I know that this is “no stupid questions” but it boggles the mind that people post in forums when the answer is either yes/no, or a single sentence explanation available in a web search.

      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
