Blurring the names is a rule on both reddit and lemmy to avoid doxxing. It’s not my rule, it’s the rule of the lemmy.world instance and lemmy, which everyone must abide by. It isn’t specifically stated in the lemmy rules whether you need to censor the names of public figures, so I’ve just been censoring the usernames and handles of the general public. Should the rules of the instance and lemmy change, the rules of this community will be adjusted accordingly.
Secondly, there’s nothing in lemmy’s, the instance, or the community rules that says posts must be recent. At the moment my main goal is for people other than me to post content; there are 29 posts here and 28 of them are mine. As long as it meets the posting guidelines and doesn’t break any rules, I don’t care where you got it or how old it is.
Thirdly, I have sticked a post to the top of this community asking for moderators, feedback and input on how this community is run. That is the proper place to leave your feedback, but I would prefer something more helpful than “it’s dumb”. This would be the perfect opportunity for you to post your own content as an example of what you’d like to see here. Volunteer your time to help moderate this community, or make a suggestion on how old recent posts should be in the sticked thread, for other subscribers to weigh in. Or contribute in literally any other way than just being critical, because I’m just one person trying my best.
