It’s the top comment on all the pop science articles. Can it just officially be a rule? You are all much smarter than I, please help compile a list of known websites that publish explicitly low quality articles, with very little science basis to back up said claims, beyond an extremely shoddy study.

    Or i can just request that the science communities have rules? Like tf yall lol. I don’t want a new service, and I don’t want a new app. I’ve noticed a considerable amount of people also wish this was a rule, so can we focus on making this community better before giving up and going somewhere else?

      I think you’re right, since it’s a lot of duplicated work if everyone has to do these filtering tasks for themselves, so blocking isn’t an ideal solution here.

      None of this community’s mods have been active in the last month. This community is effectively unmoderated so there’s no one to set the rules.

      If you’d like to moderate it, you could contact the lemmy.world admins and ask to be appointed. I bet a community like this would be almost no work to maintain as it’s not news or politics.

        Except the head mod is currently active so I would not be able to simply take it over. Thank you for the suggestions.
