Just chiming in to say that I remember seeing a .world mod telling us not to post full articles in the post or comments. The thing is, that mod had his account banned for COVID misinformation. Which, if I'm correct, is why you can't find any mention of the rule change?

the rule might not matter anymore tbh

A mod is not an Admin. I'm a mod of a community. That doesn't mean that what I say applies instance wide. My positions are categorically and exclusively my own, and not the position of lemmy.world's owners and administrators. This is why rules are usually written in third places, not in mod comments. If it's not on an official document, it's not official policy.

Ah, so then I think it was on a worldnews or news community. Which makes my previous comment stupid, lol. Thank you for the explanation.
