No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.
That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

They do it if they think you're underage and it's optional. If you don't do it, you can't see nsfw. That's pretty much it. They also switched away from the sketchy id checker. I'm not saying it's good, but you can avoid it.
Probably. But every server I was investrd in migrated, so why not ditch that horrible murican company alltogethet..
Understandable. I do think it's one of the better ones, but the bar is low.
To be fair, I wasn't an avid user. I had 2 or 3 important communities there that I was active in on and off for a long time. It wasn't a big sacrifice.. reddit feels bigger.
