Is this site the best alternative to Jelly?

Answer :

answer:Welcome to ask-public. There is only one reason this site is any good: the members. It may seem hard to believe, but many of the people on this site actually care. If you have a question about a mental health matter, I’ll be happy to share what works for me. There are many others with their own areas of expertise, too. There is one thing that takes some people a bit of time to get used to. We are serious about good grammar and proper usage. The mods will pull a question with just a typo. It’s not permanently deleted. It’s sent to be edited by the original poster. There are some other quirky aspects that I’m sure will surprise you. Enjoy yourself!
