The community’s sidebar doesn’t list a single rule so I don’t know how they expect to get users to fall in line if it’s completely unspoken.

Anyway this is a rare case of a very tiny community where no one is getting hurt so it’s not a huge deal. But if you plan on discussing news using any kind of acronym I guess don’t go there lmao.

Thoughts welcome! Am I missing something?

    I mean, if in the context those posts were low-effort and didn’t contribute to the thread in any meaningful way, I could understand. Like sharing nothing but a reaction gif in a discussion heavy community could be seen as “low effort”.

    But common acronyms? Yeah, that’s definitely a strange thing.

    Also, isn’t GIF itself an acronym? something-or-other Image Format?

      It is! Jraphics Interchange Format.

        That made it especially fun, as the mod used the acronym “GIF” (graphical interchange format)
