Why the clickbait? Just put why it's getting worse in the title

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Some Reddit communities had rules that you couldn’t change the news title I think. A practice that has unfortunately passed on. Perhaps some vigilant lemmy moderators can make an anti-clickbait policy, where any prompts or questions must be summarized in the title.

I get the argument cuz you don't want people editorializing titles absurdly, but maybe like a bracket system or something.

One difference is that lemmy post titles can be edited by the poster. Maybe mods can too? Perhaps somebody needs to make a “anti-clickbait suggested title” bot, to help combat clickbait.

The funny thing is that you didn't say why either.
