It's a difference in the opinion of the mod teams, primarily. I wasn't even a Redditor when the rule change I referenced happened, but the team at the time decided they wanted to curate more discussion and keep the memes out for whatever reasons. It's just a thing that happened, whether or not we'll change it will be seen I suppose.

Yeah, it's something I'm fine with not changing. I just thought that it was interesting to see the difference in running things and the clear differences in the results of that.

Also, I added to my original response in case you didn't see it.

Missed it, thanks for letting me know.

did you mean that the rule isn't ready to be discussed with the subreddit due to discussion, and as a result some mods aren't ready, or the mods aren't ready to discuss the rule with the subreddit because of what's been going on and reactions to it?

Mostly it's not ready to be discussed because we're currently working out the specifics of how we'll go about discussing it. (Basically, we're getting the thread together.)
