I’m just using it as an example of what a Q&A site with inadequate moderation looks like. If you can’t see that then I don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye no matter how long this discussion continues.

Of course there’s a middle ground, that’s much closer in my ideal world to StackOverflow than it is to Yahoo Answers or Quora.

Lemmy isn’t a Q&A application in the way that the others I mentioned are.

If Stack Overflow is a 3/10 then Quora is a 1/10 and Yahoo Answers is -5/10.

If the alternative is the cesspit that is Yahoo Answers and Quora, I’ll take the heavy-handed moderation of StackOverflow.
