I really don’t under your stand point here. I’m not targeting you either. I asked (!) another user Boozilla who has been active recently to update his posts to include a little synopsis of the article linked in their posts. They DMed me back saying “Done!” - no drama. It’s honestly just to keep this community clean and have some sort of continuity between posts. It’s easier when you scroll down the feed and you can see the title of the article as well as a short synopsis to catch your attention before you commit to reading the whole article. There is no rules, there is no commands, no one is telling anybody off - I just politely asked you. I hope you understand my motives - honestly there is no hostility intended.

Add it to the rules and I’ll do it. I’m not trying to create drama, but I am trying to warn against a moderation style that’ll kill this community before it’s taken off. Moderate based on established rules, and allow creativity to flourish.

Thanks for the warning. I will speak to decadentrebel who started this community (and only asked me to moderate it) to see if the suggestions are worth adding to the rule bar.

It also seems like the suggestions are not very popular, given the ones I came across were very downvoted.

As a moderator, your polite asking comes with some heft.

Unfortunately I’m on an instance that doesn’t support downvotes, so I can’t even see those
