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.

The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn't unusual.
