In an attempt to boost activity I’ve tried to answer a few questions in this, and similar communities. Looking for an old comment, I found out that a bunch of posts I’d answered are now *Permanently Deleted*, and what’s that about? If they’re LLM slop there’s enough of it I’d rather just block the community so as to not waste any time.


It’s not, “No (such thing as) stupid questions”; it’s “no stupid questions!”

That would explain it, because some of them really are pushing the suspension of disbelief. Which is why it’s especially annoying when I go out of my way to assume whoever is not actually completely taking the piss or some other kind of idiot, and treat the question reasonably seriously. Despite what it looks like…
Deleting it afterwards makes me very suspicious indeed because, bluntly, many of the “questions” already felt… stupid… in the wrong goddamn ways. Not necessarily dumber shit, but differently dumb shit than people used to ask on reddit before LLMs, hint hint.
Seriously, have you read some of this shit?
