I don't know, how do you feel about pandering for upvotes on a website that doesn't have karma?
Literally just taking top questions from reddit and posting them here to help drive engagement and get the platform going. Like you said no karma here so not sure what the aggressive tone is about. Glad the post police are migrating from reddit too though lmao that’s a good sign I guess
There’s no tone in plain text
Meh... A good question is worth re-asking from time to time. Example:
Also, some questions have answers that don't make sense anymore or have completely new answers/perspectives due to the changing world so they're worth re-asking. Example:
Then there's questions that just always solicit hilarity so why shouldn't we re-ask them?
AskLemmy could probably have that question once a quarter and it'd be worth our upvotes 😁
Yeah, but this isn't one of them. The answers it's going to get this time around are the same answers we got last time around and will probably get next time around.
So what? This isn’t stack overflow, it’s a community for discussion.
