Here's some advice, use the search option and read what the other 10,000 posts say from peoole asking the exact same question

Yeah yeah yeah

I never mind answering questions about my city. Clearly I can Google but I like hearing from actual people. That's what people did before the internet. 🤷‍♀️

If you don't want to answer, don't. The Quebec City sub has posts like this every day. If I don't feel like answering, I scroll past it. Easy.

No need to be snarky. Save your time and energy for more important things.

I live very close to JFK library. It’s adjacent to our little Saigon if you enjoy Vietnamese food I recommend pho Le for pho and Ba Le for bang mi. If the weather is nice there is a pleasant beach along the harbor walk, it’s the best place to find sea glass if you want to take a souvenir home. The commuter rail will get you to Salem cheaper and likely faster than a rental car FYI. Enjoy your trip.

Their point was that people from Boston have already answered these questions. Read the old posts first, and then post your own if you really can’t find an answer.

I know what their point is. I just don't agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with people asking individual questions. You can't get all of your queries answered via FAQs, which is why people ask for personal experiences. I've already received some responses that I found very informative that I wouldn't have found via Google.

You can disagree with me, I don't care. I don't think there's anything wrong with people using a social community to connect socially and ask questions. And I maintain that a person who doesn't want to respond should just not respond instead of choosing rudeness.

Telling everyone to just Google shit has contributed to social dysfunction on a global level, IMO. But that's a broader discussion.
