There ought to be rules governing these posts to keep users who don't check the community on weekends or off hours from being blindsided by rule changes. Something like a designated day of the week for meta posts and a minimum time duration they need to be considered for.

Posting this because no one else seems to want to,

Maybe because it's a bad idea that wouldn't solve something that's not even a problem but would make the community more difficult to use.

• Frequent posters don't hold any more special influence than irregular posters, posts are sorted by their upvotes and downvotes not by who posts them.
• A community with stupid rules that removes your post for no reason because you went beyond some arbitrary limit will discourage new members from participating
• It is dumb to think about a news community in terms of quality and quantity. Not every news article should be some 10000 word Pulitzer prize winning deep dive, some of them are just going to be two paragraph breaking news updates. Also, there are some days where not a lot of news happens and some days where a ton happens, and this idea would just make the community struggle to be relevant and up to date on those big news days. If somebody posts a dumb news story, downvote it and leave a comment about why it's dumb and post a better one.
• I don't want you or anyone else determining the value of another post for me beyond your up/downvote and comment. If the post actually breaks a community rule that we've all been informed about and agree to by participating then a mod can remove it, but if you just don't like what's being discussed then just downvote and deal with it, and if you just don't like the person who posted it then please fuck off with your incivility to another website.
• People who really do want to push misinformation will just make alts that will work around this system, so you'll be making the community harder for people to use transparently while doing nothing to discourage bad actors

and it’s a discussion worth having outside of drama or personal conflicts.

If you wanted to avoid personal conflicts maybe don't propose a rule judging posts based on who posted them and what else they've posted instead of the content of the post itself

How would this rule prevent alts? Seems like it would encourage their use if anything

She said she was honored to have the endorsement of well respected leaders like Liz and Dick (archived). If she genuinely recognized they were awful people she did a terrible job of communicating it.

the videos made of people trying to file a complaint againt a policeman at mutiple departments

One of the most famous examples of that was done by an investigative journalist in Florida, which lead to their state's police union putting out a BOLO (be on the lookout) announcement for him (which are usually only used for wanted criminals), where they "accidentally" leaked his personal information

(I would link to the original, but it seems like every single news story about this got scrubbed from CBS's website at some point, I was only able to find this page through a dead link on a blog page I was able to find an archived version of)

The time Trump would have had to spend on that would have limited the harm he will be able to do, it is up to all of us to resist this fascist crap at every step and the Biden administration routinely failed us in that regard

Yeah, this should have been obvious back when Biden was fighting to increase their budget (archived)

e; Also, the fact that it took some independent journalists to uncover this and none of the thousands of different investigators at different agencies that interact with or oversee ICE that my federal tax dollars pay for is a disgrace. This person should and could have been fired a long time ago.

We have had and currently have some incredible authors artists and musicians who make beautiful and brilliant things that reflect the spirit of the average American far better than the handful monsters who have power over us

That's not to say other countries don't also have fascinating and ingenious creators and cultures too, just saying that ours are the thing I like most about my country

Let's not ignore all the efforts Republican governments have put into making it much more difficult for certain communities to vote

Unfortunately that's been the case for a while (archived)

Nice, we should also have price controls for housing healthcare and education
