Since I keep having to remove the video posts, here’s an actual article on it:

    I dont understand how an article interpreting the post for you is better than a video that shows plain as day what happened? In the past, I’ve tried to post information before its become widely known, and doesn’t have any news articles written on it yet, and its been removed for “not being news”. This is completely antithetical to the point of this sub in my opinion.

      Simple, videos are unvetted, from unknown sources, and can contain jankey spammish monetization.

      Rather than go item by item and saying “this video is OK, this one isn’t” we have an established rule of “no videos”.

          Well, think of it like this, all the mods are volunteers here. We have actual paying jobs outside Lemmy and, you know, “lives” and stuff.

          We don’t have the time to watch every video, read every Twitter post, or every Blogsite to go “Yeah, that’s OK” or “No, that one’s bullshit.”

          So, yeah, we set up catch all rules. No videos, no social media, no blog sites.
