Reason: Low-effort garbage

Is that standard boilerplate enumerated removal reason or is that personalized?

I even took time to italicise and bold certain parts of the title :(

I get that Heil Honey, I’m Home is controversial but its still worthy of inquiry; even if it wasnt, I feel like thats not really a decision mods should be proactively making, thats more curation and it sort of conflicts with the spirit of Lemmy and civil dialectical discussion in general



What a joyk?!

    Got a removal for “rule 4” on one of the UK subs. Looking at the non-numbered rules on the sidebar, I think it correlates with “low effort, spam, or nonsensical post”. I’d spent a while writing it and suspect that the mod disagreed with the stance I’d taken on a hot button issue.

    I guess I downvoted too much? There were a lot of clickbait titles with zero description. I also upvoted quality posts 🤷‍♂️

    It was personalized. It was because I deemed the specific post in question to be low effort garbage and not worthy of any further explanation beyond the massive amount of downvotes and zero responses.

      I mean, it wasnt even up for very long so thats a tad disingenuous (the downvotes notwithstanding altho that doesnt really have anything to do with whether it was lazy or not.) We can all agree Downvotes !!= lazy/stupid/garbage,per se

      Also Where should it have gone, its a valid question that just happens to involve something unpopular or controversial. Its not a shitty ask because i clearly expected an objectively reasonable factual response.

      Also Also How could something be lazy stupid garbage in a general ask forum and then magically ok even in something like NoStupidQuestions unless the lazy stupid garbage assumption is objectively arbitrary and perhaps overly personal?

      Wouldnt the NoStupidQuestions people see what you saw and rightfully remove it under the same rationale or basis?

          Fair enough, Can you answer my last question tho? The fact you’re pointing out NoStupidQuestions + the much more gratuitous *MUCH more appropriate dig kind of proves my point, no?

          NoStupidQuestions, much more appropriate [emphasis mine]

          Why do you think the Question is (so) Stupid? Respectfully, that seems more like curating and making value judgments rather than moderating but I’m open to hearing your thoughts on why you believe thats not the case here (assumingthat chacterisation is accurate and you still stand by it)
