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.

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.
