I was on the old Reddit amathenedit and while it was fun for a little bit, people would always start trying to bait certain answers. Eg: if the post was titled something like “ama then edit to make it look like I drink too much coffee” then inevitably somebody would ask something like “how many letters are on your keyboard” or something just to get OP to answer with a large number, and then they would edit the question to say like “how many times a day do you drink coffee?” for example.
I think the community would work better if the OP only reveals the premise a little bit afterwards, maybe by editing the post right before answering questions. That would prevent the answer baiting and hopefully Lemmy’s ability to sort by active posts would be less harsh to posts that take time to cook.
