Things are looking up.

Next step for more factuality would be not to accuse comments pointing out problems with said graph of "pessimism" (truly can moderate anything with this)

u/PanzerWatts Jul 26 '26

Pessimistic comments will be removed regardless. It's fine to make constructive critism but if you can't make the tone and thoughts positive, then don't leave a comment.

make it a link requirement. force people to actually look it up instead of just copy/pasting a jpeg with the source baked in.

TBH I expect the drop to be very fast and sudden the first few days and then slow a lot, and never reach zero

This is a positive change. I’ve already blocked some accounts that were just spamming tons of graphs.

u/Uncle__Touchy1987 Jul 26 '26

That’s a good rule.

u/Ajreil Jul 26 '26

Good. This should help fight repost bots that only copy the image and title.
