Consider two scenarios : a) I have installed some software X but messed up one of the install steps and now there is this weird error. Or b) when installing this software, it always errors if library Y is on an old version.
For b) it is clearly a 'general' problem that many people will face. For a) it could be seen as a user error and therefore not generally useful. From the point of view of the people facing a) though, it absolutely is a problem!
Ultimately though, Stack Overflow just faced the customer service curse: as volume rises, moderation gets blunter.
May I ask your SO id? It'll be a link like https://stackoverflow.com/users/1, except with a different number.
"How do I sort a list of US States in Python 3.10?" Too specific.
"How do I sort a list of strings in Python?" About right.
"How do I sort a list with my computer?" Too general.
That's the opposite of the guidance, or at least the guidance as it was back when I was active on SO.
General questions "What's the best way to do X" are shut down.
Questions should be specific and about actual problems you have rather than general problems.
Solving real problems with real solutions builds up a strong data set, not questions about imagined problems and their answers
