Reply to comment by ExpiredDeodorant in Me whenever I ask a question or post a non-meta keyboard in this sub by HydroCigna

I notice that with a lot of subs tbh. Like the older people don't want new people posting questions, and if they do they throw a fit about how "You can just Google it and find the answer" etc.

Yeah, but we really don't need new people in "XHobbyJokes" asking noob questions and a lot of subs is about that. Inexperienced people making posts there make the experience bad. "XHobby" subs should be welcoming tho, but within a reason, people often can't google shit themselves and even if they try, but haven't found an explanation within 15m they start posting questions. If you're interested in something, then you can spend a few hours learning the basics. We are tired of people asking if they can fix their "A" key that doesn't work, there's a million videos how to fix a mech, just shut up and do it yourself, it's disrespectful of other's time and actually harmful for the community, because genuine questions are blended with spam all the time.

"Ask ANY question, get an answer" is pretty straightforward. If you're tired of answering the same questions don't answer them, but don't gatekeep how much knowledge is needed before asking questions is allowed, that's ridiculous.
