New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." (lemmy.world)

Due to the large number of reports we've received about recent posts, we've added Rule 7 stating "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."

In general, we allow a post's fate to be determined by the amount of downvotes it receives. Sometimes, a post is so offensive to the community that removal seems appropriate. This new rule now allows such action to be taken.

We expect to fine-tune this approach as time goes on. Your patience is appreciated.

Because it's clutter and annoying to see "Heyyy, is jellyfin a good video app?" ad nauseam, when a simple search would answer their question faster and without wasting everyone's time and energy.

Modlogs are visible, if there's truly a censorship issue then we're free to upsticks and move to another community. That's the advantage of the Fediverse.

Which other self hosted communities are there on the fediverse with any real number of users? None. Lemmy being decentralized doesn’t solve the problem of dictators mods, just like saying “just make a new sub and move there” on reddit doesn’t work.
