This is kind of off-topic, and I’m seemingly in the minority here, but can we stop shoving the word “rule” into every single post title? Am I the only one that finds this annoying? This is a great community, but as I scroll lemmy, I subconsciously read all post titles somewhere deep in my brain. It’s so passive that I don’t even realize I’m doing it—until I come across seemingly any 196 post and the word “rule” shoehorned into the…middle of a word is like a record scratch deep in my brain stem.

I know this is a me problem, but dammit if it doesn’t bug me. Am I alone? (And yes, I’m prepared to get a bunch of “well then get over it or leave” replies. So, let me have ‘em.)

in all seriousness, i dont mind. i think it was a rule on the subreddit that you had to have it in the title
