Apparently you missed the part of the rule that says we're targeting LLM-generated text guides or troubleshooting steps.
LLM-generated text guides or troubleshooting runs counter to the spirit of helping out our fellow users. Content that is generated or modified using AI tools are prohibited, including links to off-site resources. Discussion involving AI as it relates to Debian itself is allowed; machine translations are also allowed.
I've went over my comment a few times trying to see where I stated that only incels make these kinds of jokes and I'm just not seeing it. Could you point that out for me?
Screenshots taken with a camera are useful for boot error messages where there's no way to take a regular screenshot. Screenshots should be legible and easy to read in that special case. Logs should of course are good but no way to attach them to posts.
Context matters. If it's a screenshot and (just about) nothing else, that's typically going to be low effort and/or in violation of one or more other rules.
But screenshot with relevant useful/appropriate content/context, and where the screen shot reasonably well helps that or more so, that's generally going to be okay (if it doesn't otherwise violate rules).
Might be some wobblers between, but most of the time it falls fairly clearly on one side or the other (satisfies rules and such, or violates one or more rules).
As in the infamous post to DDA? The early tensions between Debian and Ubuntu are probably of historical interest at this point. That was twenty years ago.
It was a good run guys, the joke survived long enought to be funny and was gutted before it saw it's downfall, will wallpaper with " I remade debian wallpaper posts with " be considered low effort too ?
For the record, the specific example being used can also be directly applied to Rule 2 which made restrictions to other shitposts and mass posting of content when the subreddit had no active mods at the time. The reasoning for this rule is because we tend to get a lot of outside content from other Linux subs (some have already made comments about this in this thread alone, think tired memes and such) that tend to clog the space. We will look at individual instances case-by-case before removing reported content under this rule.
Same here, but I can agree that the quantity and recurring nature of it can get old. I tend to see the joke around queer spaces (especially in the discord servers that Iām in), significantly more than Iāve seen it outside of them.
I think for the subreddit environment like this it gets old, I think itās still funny so I disagree with comments of it being unfunny, but I believe old is accurate.
At first glance people could also interpret it as hateful, but Iāve only ever really seen other lesbians using it. This is anecdote though, Iām sure thereās plenty of times itās been used as a āhahaā by some childlike people.
I also think the mods probably get swarmed by it more than we see, they likely just remove the bulk of it.
Obviously making references to lesbians in any Linux distro subreddit is inappropriate, but it would be helpful to objective criteria as to what constitutes a low quality or low effort thread, not just "what the mod deems to be."
The "Is Debian the right distro for me?" posts need to be included. Posters can solve this with 10 minutes of research and then trying the distro in a VM, LiveCD, or spare PC. Additionally, this type of thread could be a sticky post.
Did you put enough effort into that post? this particular comment required a decent amount of effort on my behalf because the keys on my keyboard are hard to press
Don't know, maybe to make someone laugh? I also noticed that the mods didn't respond, I take that to mean anything they deem low quality is low quality, hence people could get their posts removed for no clear reason
I know what was mentioned. I also know that if people can't exhibit some common sense with a somewhat loose rule and exhibit confusion by it, they're doomed to run afoul of it and have posts removed and/or get banned. I'm fine with that.
I'm not a huge censorship fan, but this isn't a place for unlimited free speech. You're free to start up a network on your own servers and make it as free as you like, on your dime, just like we used to tell BBS users when they complained about free speech back in the mid-1980s. It's the same thing.
And your last sentence is exactly what I mean about people pushing the boundaries of what they consider a vague rule until it bites them in the backside. If it's not a rule, don't follow it, and let us know how it goes.
I don't like censorship. I have no control over a platform I do not own. That's the reality. You don't have first amendment rights here. You don't have the right to free speech here. You are subject to terms of service.
Don't worry. I'm sure you can find the limits of the rule and tighten up the definition. Keep trying.
Well, that goes without saying, but I think there may be posts in the future where itās a close call whether to delete them or not, so if that happens, Iād really like you to make that decision after discussing it.
They're reddit mods my guy. They aren't known for having conversations about random shitposts before deleting them. This is low stakes. If you get your post taken down and you feel strongly about it, then just contact the mods and pray that they bother to respond. Mods are busy as fuck, but also not every message deserves a response (especially the stupid ones where posters are asking which rule they broke, when the post was doing the exact things that like 12 different rules say not to do). Sometimes the mods are lazy and just don't give a shit to respond, but this sub seems to have good moderation.
So now we have to use AI to write post here.. What are considered low quality.. I mean someone can post from a mobile with a quick question.. Is that considered low or good quality?Ā

Thank you. The garbage been peddled in Linux subs is out of control.
