I do not fully agree with this. Simply because by having a lack of users, there will not be answers to questions that require expertise
Exactly. We need people here. The strength of Reddit at this point is that, for any interest you might have, no matter how niche, there will be a sizeable community on Reddit that knows a lot about it and is yearning to talk about it. Outside of tech and science adjacent topics, that's simply not really the case here.
Sure, sometimes I want to talk about new developments in tech. And other times, I want to talk about Carly Rae Jepsen's upcoming album, The Loveliest Time, and how I'm fucking stoked to see her in less than a month.
This is the exactly the unwelcoming approach which would result in an unwelcoming environment
What I am saying is that the community should be open for as many people as possible.
Making/keeping something purposefully difficult to use is like saying to someone that you won't talk to them because they don't have a PhD. in math.
True, it’s not difficult. though it’s still more difficult than it needs to be
I'd much rather welcome the normies than people who compare human beings to pissing stray dogs, personally.
I think we pretty much have all the answers needed somewhere on the rest of the internet. It might just take some extra effort to find what you need.
Also, we will probably have language models running locally on our phones with all the info we'll ever need in a short few years anyways.
