Fearful MeFi lurker. Snark appreciator. Napping consultant. My optimism must be super-strong at this point. Goodness knows it's challenged every day.

@splitbrain@fedi.splitbrain.org Everything you said makes perfect sense to me. That's the way things _should_ work.
But it's not how I've seen things work.
It's the threads full of clueless guessers and cranky "that's not helpful" comments that (eventually) attract enough attention to produce a good answer.
The helpfully-boosted questions just get radiated into the ether and eventually disappear.
