For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I believe that banning text-focused posts would give the community more identity. The posts that have text in big part seem like content you'd encounter in any other meme/political community anyway. This is just a discussion post to see how the community feels about these. Thank you.

If it's a rule you want to enforce, I think it'd be great, especially given that we can just spin up a hmmm community on another instance if there are folks who are clamoring to make text posts. I'm just always nervous because lemmings can get very angry about moderation decisions and that can lead to moderator burnout.
