I feel like it's rather open, but I see your point. Having re-read the rules it's likely breaking rule #3 as well.
I know I can search for instances, but then all I have to go by are the name of the instance, and what the person running it thinks it is. I wanted to get some real feedback about how people are actually using them.
It seems from the upvote ratio, people generally appreciate that I posted the question here.
Not saying I disagree necessarily, but I just want to point out many people interact from their feed without even noticing what community it's on.
People are helpful here so posts don't usually get ignored. With that said, each community should have the space to be what it wants to be. These comments are a clear signal that we want to go with open discussion questions.
