We have changed rules here now. Please read sidebar. Answers must be comprehensive, question to a question must provide why asking. And a simple link is no longer acceptable. Problem with this? (lemmy.world)

This sub got lazy and fat like the people on the ship in Wall-E with answers this should have and now will be to the best of our abilities a more lean community where people can come and have a resource for reading facts. If there are any questions please DM me or my mod mate for any questions. Thank you and we are still looking for new mods with hopefully specialized in certain aspects of history. This is a friendly place please be civil and kind but also direct. Thank you have a nice day. We will accept any critique to any question or answer for review if you think it is a problem. This will be the open post for questions about rule changes and every pertaining to this community. Please do not be afraid to contact US mods for any questions and will get back to you in roughly 6 to 12 hours.

While rules for questions are good, casual comments are part of the engagement of a healthy community. I don't think strict rules for comments are a good idea for the long-term health of the comm.
