We like facts and reliable sources here. While sources like Quora/Reddit/Wikipedia can be great tools for quick searches, we do not allow such user-generated content as primary source. What’s wrong with Wikipedia?

IMO the title I used better reflected the author's primary message ... in his own words. It was TheGuardian which mis-directed it. Lemmy chose to run that blurb, I have no control over that (and when it does so, it's often discouraging).
'Self-termination' was a stupid choice. I didn't get a chance to see that or modify it when I clicked on 'Preview'. Lemmy would be better if it would offer that choice and allow the poster to reject it. It's rather authoritarian that way.
