Meta note, I like a short description after the article title, I feel it gives the community more life and makes this place feel less sterile. I’m a lot more likely to click on a post if there is a brief description. I know the rules discourage it but Im not sure why. Is it a holdover from reddit? I know the subs there have a lot of rules due to the large volume of posts but its not really an issue on Lemmy with the smaller size.
No editorializing seems like a great policy though.
I read the no editorializing request in regards to the link title. If you like putting a salient quote or a quick synopsis within the optional text of the post, there’s nothing wrong with that choice. But I’d hate for it to be mandatory. Some articles speak for themselves, and the comments are always open for community engagement.
But I’m not a mod, and I don’t speak for our resident clam man.
It would be better to move the text to the description if possible. The reddit had this policy to avoid editorialization because we are here to appreciate the beauty of Wikipedia, which has its own carefully formulated policies on article titles.
