New Sidebar Rule: (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago by jordanlund@lemmy.world to c/world@lemmy.world

We've had to create a new sidebar rule, we won't be enacting it retroactively because that just doesn't seem fair, but going forward:

  • Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

A super user is not a spammer.

If you think that 19 is a lot of news articles for the whole planet in a single day, enough that it counts as spam, then my friend have I got news for you :-(

19 isn't a lot for the planet, but it is a lot for a single user.

We'd rather the front page be representative of what MULTIPLE people think is important, not just one person, otherwise we might as well just turn it over to a bot pulling from the Google News algorithm.

I agree one person can't properly sample the world stage of news.
