[Meta] I suggest adding a rule to not post videos here. (feddit.org)

In my humble opinion, the Technology community should only contain text news/articles or even news pictures.

I simply think that tech videos does not belong to this community, as there is already a videos community which would be more suitable for this.

What does the mods think about this?

A post with nothing in it except a video link is not a post to begin with.

Posts should actually have some content in my opinion, otherwise it's just link dumping which is practically spam.

If I can't determine from the initial post if a article/video is of interest it shouldn't have been posted to begin with.

Maybe you shouldn't be active on a link aggregator platform then.

Ah yes the fabled "link aggregator".

Lemmy might technically also be that, but it's first and foremost a discussion platform, although it has an ongoing problem with rampant bot-posts and link-dumpers.
