It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking.
Are there any lemmy instances or other defederated networks that focus on Q&A, niche communities, and people conversing, instead?
The opposite of that request, yes.
sorry what do you mean?
the feature request is suggesting the ability to disallow link posts, as well as the ability to disallow text posts
which did you want?
Ah, I read the requestor as wanting to disallow body text.
