Only open-ended questions? Only questions from mildly embarrassing ignorance?

What if instead I ask everyone anything here? I have no idea what I'm doing, do you? How are ya? Confused? I might be too.

Why do tech/political news, and politics posts see so many more comments here? (lemm.ee)

Everyone's opinionated about tech and politics around here, but not entertainment or other subjects as much? What's that about?

The interesting part is, don't some people attribute that mainly to The Algorithm™? If it were that alone, one might think we should see different trends in algorithm minimal spaces like this, and yet... 🤔

While it's true that The Algorithm™ exacerbates the effect, it only does that because it works in the first place. Plus, in a way, we're each our own Algorithm™. Where there's more activity, we stay to read for longer (because there's more to read,) and that makes us more likely to find something to chime in on.
