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.

If by text focused you mean the entire thing is conveyed through text and doesn't require an image, yes. If the setting of the image is necessary but the text makes it weird I would loke to keep those.
For example, if there was a beware of dog sign on a cage with a tiger then I would want to keep it. The text and image work together.
Text posts that happen to have an image tacked on, but would work without the text can go away. Especially reaction images to walls of text.
Sounds acceptable. I think I'd want to go for 'no captions' and 'no social media screenshots' to let the picture speak for itself with no distractions.
Ideally I'd love no text in the picture at all but we don't have the population for this and It'd kill the community.
Yeah, that would be good.
The kind of thing I'm thinking of is a sign we have in at least one private parking lot that has the exact red octagon with white edge but instead of STOP it says SLOW DOWN. It is literally a STOP sign that says something else. That has text, but isn't a caption and only works because the context + words causes a double take.
I'd be ok without something like that and going full image only if that seems like a hard nuance to moderate.
