This morning, I was mourning it. However, I made a post asking a really simple question earlier but was instead attacked. It was truly such a simple question about something related to my house. So, not anymore.
Lol, been there.
Was it on r/HomeImprovement by chance?
As a long time lurker, occasional asker/answerer, my experience has pretty much been like this recently:
Ask how to change a lightbulb and within half an hour you'll have 6 replies asking if you got a permit for that, 3 asking if you really need a permit, 2 saying "no, you don't need a permit", someone else brand new chiming in "ackshually you do", and finally 1 awesome person that answers your question but somehow gets downvoted into oblivion.
It was on r/fixit. Every single time I ask a question on there I somehow get attacked every time. Last time I asked how to fix something on my kids toy box and someone said "maybe you shouldn't have kids if they are going to destroy stuff". sir. For real? You ever seen a child?
They probably haven't left their basement long enough to see a child lol
That....sounds about right, sadly.
