This is fine if the post is something insanely low effort.
But I do worry if this ends up being too aggressive.
One of the things that made reddit so awful is how over moderated it was.
I don't really take issue with dozens of posts by newbies asking the same basic question over and over. I used to be one and am occasionally back there again if I start a new hobby. Hopefully newcomers don't get pushed off by overly sensitive moderation.
It would be helpful if you could provide a hypothetical example of what is considered a "low effort" post.
I couldn't agree more, I join selfhosting communities all over and not just because I need more stuff to host, because of the community. I love getting to read through the questions and answers, even when they are questions that could be answered by just reading the man page... Maybe it just reminds me of the good old days as I'm getting older and remember asking a lot of similar questions.
I'm not sure if I agree with this, unless you need clarification on something specific the forum like nature and search should allow you to find answers to previous questions without asking it again.
But I do agree overmoderation is bad. I swear if communities start implementing a karma system...
Lemmy apps already have karma systems.
What?? which ones?
Probably any with tags is what they mean, considering I have them tagged as a transphobe, I'm sure lots of people have.
My question was so bad I cannot understand what I ment by which ones.
Which apps for Lemmy have a form of karma.
Voyager, for example, tracks how much you have upvoted or downvoted each user, which is so highly localized I can't consider it a karma system.
The person you replied to is probably mad because they get down voted a lot for being shitty.
Oh right I needed to click on the show context button 🤦
Lemmy started off over moderated and has only gotten worse. Moderation here is honestly worse than Reddit already, since we can see the ridiculous comment removals and bans and their reasons.
