Yeah well maybe they should come here. Lol not to be too harsh. What kinda questions are there anyway? More importantly, what questions are there that can’t be answered by “just go on lemmy brah”?

Does it need to be online and continuous?

Hot take of the day: academia doesn’t need social media.

How much of this is due to the subjects of the posts? If news articles are pretty similar week to week, I’d expect the discussion around them to be similar too. That shifts the onus on users to stop posting and upvoting same-ey content all the time, or moderators to take more of it down.
