I vehemently oppose the new redditesque rule of "Begin posts with “TIL” ". One of the things I disliked about reddit is each sub having different rules, which also squashes Xposting ability, and Xposting is more common/important on the Lemmyverse since there are probably already 10 other TIL subs.

I reverted that rule away, but we can discuss it if you'd like 🙂

Good point. It was nice to identify the posts right away when scrolling through, but the crossposting argument is valid.

There are quite a few posts already on TIL@lemmy.ml using this convention though. Given the larger use base in that instance, I'd be concerned about a majority tending with convention.

I'd suggest starting a new post here and gathering some feedback. I'm game to break traditional values if that's where we want to go.
