I would love if we had some rules against shiposts like those.
Okay, I'll be honest, there's two "users" I particularly have in mind at plebbit Kia2 that are really bad about it. I'd report em if they were breaking any rules, believe me, they aren't. And the two accounts mainly just post all of their trash at all the "conservative" subs.
I've been trying to post more content both here and there to help add more stuff that isn't junk, be the change you want to see and all that, but it's definitely a problem.
Most egregious one I can remember seeing, off the top of my head, was that screenshot of a purported Scientific American article defending pedophilia. A commentor calls it out (with sources) as a doctored screen of what was originally a years old article on homosexuality and the user deletes his post right after.
Do I really want more rules? For the most part no.. Honestly I think our mods have done a good job there, but I don't think it'd hurt to have a requirement for links to the original source when possible when the post is a screenshot. Just something to require a modicum of effort and help give readers the info to verify what they're reading for themselves.
