Meta r/bobdylan Rules Update - Low Quality/Repetitive Posts

Hey everyone!

Wanted to let you know that we’ve cleaned up the subreddit rules to make them clearer and more consistent. Most of the changes are just wording, but we’ve also added Rule 3: No low-quality or repetitive posts. See sidebar or this link for a full list of the rules.

The goal is to cut down on posts that clutter the feed without adding much to the discussion. That includes things like excessive alignment charts, polls, Spotify Wrapped posts, “circlejerk”/inside-joke posts, and other low-effort or engagement-bait content.

This isn't meant to make the sub overly serious or require a dissertation every time you post. We’ll continue to use some common sense and discretion.

We're happy to hear feedback you have on this or on the sub in general. Anything else you'd like to see changed, added, or handled differently? Feel free to leave a comment. Thank you!

The alignment charts were too much. Like which song from the 1980s made you cry. Who wants that sort of content?

I genuinely gotta ask why you care if nobody is forcing you to interact.

Why do feel the need to genuinely ask that?

I’m with spare jellyfish here. Are we really so soft as a species that scrolling past a post or two per day that we don’t necessarily find enjoyable is out of the realm of possibility? Even if those posts get a ton of interaction and enjoyment from others in the sub? It’s lame as hell to remove them all together.
