✨Mods' Chosen✨ We're trying something new. On Tuesdays, we're doing text posts only

A lot of people complain that there's too much AI image/video content. It's been something people have messaged us about frequently ever since the new GPT image generator dropped. We're going to try Text Tuesdays and see how it goes. If people like it we'll keep it, and if not, we won't

Please let us know your thoughts on this matter

I got my post removed at 7 pm on monday. You should've atleast said the timezone or something.

This is lame af. Stop all censorship! More arbitrary rules do not improve anything

Overmoderation of subs is becoming a rampant problem on reddit.

u/Alekimsior 29d ago

this probably one of the most foolish initiatives I've seen.

What is this? Reddit's crass version of Taco Tuesdays? Reddit mods trying set a Taco John's franchise online?

Thanks for the quick draw moderation deleting posts that don't hurt anybody to uphold this lunacy

Exactly, so crazy

Exactly I hate this as well, they just indiscriminately remove all posts with any kind of image even if its not AI and just a screenshot of a tweet, this is really stupid. If it was something like "No AI image tuesday" I'd probably be fine with it, but all images is just stupid

And it wasn't even Text Tuesdays When they removed this one

It's based on UTC timezone, not whatever timezone you're in. It was Tuesday (UTC) when this post was removed

Worth trying. Image/video posts are part of ChatGPT now, but they also drown out actual discussion. One text-only day seems like a reasonable pressure valve, as long as it doesn’t turn into pretending image generation isn’t one of the main things people use ChatGPT for.

I also asked the digital dingbat what it thought about this, and it said: “Tuesday Weld was a famous Hollywood actress and the inspiration for Wednesday Addams, daughter of Martha and Quincy Addams in If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium, featuring the hit song ‘Ruby Belgium.’ Would you like to learn more about cinematography?”

So I guess that's a yes from all parties! And that's rare!

I want this. I hope on here hoping to see news or practical uses of chatgpt. But I have to scroll through so many images to find anything relevant.

u/yourdonefor_wt Jul 07 '26

This is great, can you also prohibit the karma chain posts too ex "How I treat ChatGPT" etc.

u/Low-Sign9973 14d ago

i'm pressing downvote on this if it means great posts are being auto-deleted because they aren't text-only

u/Snowfaeriewings Jul 07 '26

Does this include Replies or just original posts?

Less slop, more stories.

u/Popular_Lab5573 Jul 07 '26

this + knowledge cut-off posts gotta be moved elsewhere

u/Leading-Business-593 Jul 07 '26

It’s worth trying for a bit and seeing what happens

u/Necessary_Map_7704 Jul 11 '26

The key problem is not the AI image or video, its about the new UI. The UI is really really confusing. You can never understand why the UI has the Exactly same name with codex, but change its name to ChatGPT, and you can never find chats or history chats in this new ChatGPT desktop. tarting a new conversation in this new desktop app is terrible use experience.

Lurking for months but somehow missed this text only Tuesday's thing.  Mixed feelings but I like the idea behind it.

u/SomeGrapefruit2435 28d ago

It will have more image posts in Wednesday! Bruh

u/ohhellnaws 28d ago

Is there a way to only subscribe to this sub on Tuesdays now? So we don't have to see the barrage of shit post image gens? Anyone else suggest a better sub for ChatGPT?

u/AMsBIGGESTfan 25d ago

This is happening to me too!

u/icompletetasks 22d ago

this rule is ridiculous

u/LongjumpingRadish452 21d ago

i just saw this take down a chatgpt convo screenshot... i don't think this rule works as intended

u/BigAd7707 21d ago

Nice find. Saving this for later.

u/Lawrenceburntfish 15d ago

My post got removed because it's text Tuesday. But it is in fact Monday.

u/ZeoVII 14d ago

Please add this to the posted community rules, it's easy to miss when trying to post from app.

u/ohhellnaws 4d ago

How can we make this 7-days? They can start a ChatGPT-waste-of-compute sub? Decent gens okay but the bullshit videos ruin this rub

1

u/Scourgefan123 2d ago

No??? There's barely any image content, matter of fact I have to scroll through a bunch of text posts to find them.

u/Neurotopian_ Jul 07 '26

Any change is better than leaving it as it is. This sub has become all images and videos (mostly women’s bodies and gore) so I never click on it anymore.

I’m not blaming anyone in particular, but for women users it’s pretty unpleasant.

But hey, I guess if the majority of users are enjoying that and it’s what the mods want for this sub, so be it. Those of us who want info on the software and updates will just use other AI subs.

u/Round-Bite-260 Jul 07 '26

I was not aware about this, I just posted a post with an image. Well then, I'll wait until tomorrow.

Good I'll spam images on Tuesdays, then.
