For region-specific instances, I think it might be a good idea: community-outreach, or something like that..

Imagine being able to go the the Lemmy.Lebanon instance, & find a kind of community where totally-dumbass-to-them questions that we outsiders would ask, wouldn't be presumed-to-be-intentionally-wrong..

where we could ask the kinds of questions that they wouldn't want their normal communities stuffed with..

If it became a tradition where region-specific instances had this, then .. it'd be a good thing, for cultural-exchange & for language-learners, woudn't it?

So, in that context yes, I think it'd be good..

But it isn't just region-specific, language-specific, for language-learners to start with..

profession-specific, for onboarding future-professionals..

there are many cases where that could work well.

The general-purpose instances, however .. it doesn't really make any sense, does it?
