i really wish that most threads - such as threads on asklemmy or similar where "serious responses only" by default

coz otherwise all we'll see is the jokes being upvoted because people like to laugh. but... often you'd either have to read 200 comments to find a proper response, or you'd never find it.

alternatively, you can have a "seriousquestions" and a "askwhatever" community, so everyone is happy
