- I hardly ever find truthful information or ideas awkward.
- But you ask a fine question? What are you here for?
- My understanding : how I got here is the "anti-stackexchange stackexhange". While the effort required to get a question on the site is approaching needing one or two rounds of venture capital funding, and the likelihood of getting a good answer is approaching the likelihood of winning powerball, "anti-stackexchange" has an appeal. I think Worldbuilding SE may have morphed from a Q+A site to a place where Editors edit at one another.
## Codidact puts people first; we're here to help you share knowledge and get curated answers in a friendly environment- Codidact Scientific Speculation is not very active : 6 new questions in the last year.
- Hardly seems like such a small volume of text could offend anyone in any way. Yet, I've been contacted more than once to remove the tiny bit of content I have as "already answered elsewhere" (it wasn't), or "not really science", or "not really a question".
- It isn't my site. And I am starting to regret visiting.
As a bit of friendly advice, if this place has just become a burden - why not pull the plug?

- ### Short Version
- I would sure like a place, any place, to share and discuss ideas that's a step above a chatroom, forum, reddit, or bulletin board.
- I'm happy with re-organizing anywhere, but sure would like it if there's not a huge amount of churn "figuring it out"
