Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well.

They ever do anything about that or stop adding in their own stuff to the protocol?
ChooseAnswer still seems to be used

What does the code look for when deciding if something is low quality? And how do they decide if someone is posting memes specifically? It just feels like it could easily lead to false positives if he did it poorly (or even if he didn't)

Specific phrases rimu doesn't like, urls rimu doesn't like or if it's a meme.
Also this function could have just been a regex, or a one-liner:
There's so much of little things like that in the code. Gif check is just stringed together if thens
