Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

You don't have a "case," you have an opinion that amounts to no-true-Scotsman. If any of these posts are "Reddit brained," but yours is somehow not, then "Reddit brained" is an empty concept you fill with whatever you don't like. Your post, like the ones you're criticizing, is short, low-effort, unfriendly, critical, and contributes nothing to the discussion. You're just expressing the opinion that you're unhappy - and, as far as I can tell, no one asked. If you're allowed to post your irrelevant, negative opinion, then why aren't they?
If you don't like other people, with different motives, interests, and moods, joining your social media platforms, I have bad news.
Although, this is the fediverse - you could make your own server and just defederate every time you're about to make a post like you did here. The rest of us would be grateful to see less toxicity around here.
Don't be obtuse, you know exactly what they meant: low effort "quippy," dare I say it: Whedon-esque comments, that you can predict before even opening the comments.
I'm not being obtuse, I'm pointing out that that person is full of shit. His/her "contribution" is just as garbage as the posts they criticized.
But I really really agree with it. I'd like to see the culture around here step up a little bit. Circlejerks and shitposting communities are one thing, but not everything has to be a joke. And certainly not the same joke, over and over again and again.
Okay.
