This is kind of off-topic, and I’m seemingly in the minority here, but can we stop shoving the word “rule” into every single post title? Am I the only one that finds this annoying? This is a great community, but as I scroll lemmy, I subconsciously read all post titles somewhere deep in my brain. It’s so passive that I don’t even realize I’m doing it—until I come across seemingly any 196 post and the word “rule” shoehorned into the…middle of a word is like a record scratch deep in my brain stem.

I know this is a me problem, but dammit if it doesn’t bug me. Am I alone? (And yes, I’m prepared to get a bunch of “well then get over it or leave” replies. So, let me have ‘em.)

you ar(ul)e alone in this

in all seriousness, i dont mind. i think it was a rule on the subreddit that you had to have it in the title

It wasn't a rule, but it was often done as a bit

One of the subreddits rules was "don't forget the rule", so I believe it actually was a rule. I also can't recall ever seeing a post that didn't have rule in the title

There is only one rule on 196, and that is you have to post something on your way out. Using 'rule' in the title is like saying "I'm out"

Oh, must've misremembered. Not my most active sub anyway tbh. Sincerely don't remember ever seeing a post without rule in the title though, so it felt like an actual rule.
