    Idk who nuxcom is but is this really a contender for best of Lemmy? You see the same comment in every other post so is this person that special or do we have a slow day?

      There are two rules currently written for “BestOfLemmy”, and they are:

      1. Manual Curation – If someone thinks its best-of material, it is allowed here.

      2. Newbie to Lemmy perspective – Posts should be beneficial to new Lemmy users. I’ll ban topics on a case-by-case basis that violate this (ex: deep server vs server feuds or other “community vs community drama” topics).

      From #1: The poster clearly thinks its worth sharing, so it deserves a topic. That’s sufficient. For #2: it is a very political season (with only days remaining before the USA’s voting days), so I think most people looking into Lemmy here would forgive us for a politically charged topic like this.

      I evaluate that this topic was posted in good faith, and that newbies would accept such a topic here. So that’s why it stays.


      From a “BestOf” perspective: my main problem with the post is that it links to a picture of the post, rather than the original topic and the original discussion that created this particular post. I might make a rule against image-posts (ie: do not make unnecessary screenshots. Prefer to link to various topics and other discussions on Lemmy. Screenshots are counterproductive to the greater Lemmy community).

      My vote is very much on slow day and, given a choice, would nuke this thread entirely, if that helps.

      If folk MUST steal other’s work, at least pick something that is semi-uniquely them and not literally a post made while taking a shit.

        Actually I was eating cereal but just liked how you put it. Sorry if I offended by reposting. Felt it was a compliment.

        I don’t disagree with the point but I have seen the same comment more than 100 times here lol. But I can see where you are coming from.
