    The same could be said for the title of the original article. “The original article title is available in the link”.

    The rule is favoring the opinion and bias of the original article and enforcing it on the window in which all people using the sub are deciding which comments or articles to even engage with.

    That’s the point of the title in the sub. It’s not “equal” because it can be posted in a comment. We aren’t all reading the sub one link at a time and one comment at a time. We are using titles to decide what to engage with.

    So one of these needs to be favored over the other unless we allow user titles to be posted along with article title (which I personally think is a bad solution).

    So we are stuck favoring one over the other for the sub title. The opinions and bias of the users of this sub (regulated by the mod team to some degree) or the opinions and bias of the institutions (unregulated by the mod team in anyway. Just flat enforcement).

    That’s the point. It’s not users opinions not being available. It’s about the opinions and bias in titles being enforced as the titles in the sub itself.

    The rule enforces the opinions of and bias of third party institutions through all titles in this sub over the opinions and bias of the actual users of the sub. The rule doesn’t even allow for mods to use any form of judgement. Which is why you’re stuck here getting downvoted because you’re doing your job and enforcing the rule.

    I’m arguing against this form of hard enforcement because I don’t want the mods being put in a position in which they are forced to defend the passive language titles used to normalize a law protecting pedophiles. I know you’re not trying to do that. But, the rule unfortunately, in this situation, is putting you in that position.

    So, in my opinion, the rule needs some flexibility at the discretion of the mods. Enforce article titles to a degree. But you mods gotta have some discussion among one another on the flexibility of allowing user titles sometimes. Because it puts you in this awful position of enforcing a title that is passively normalizing pedophiles and being a robot that responds with “those are the rules”.

    Hope you understand what I’m saying. This isn’t a criticism of you or any mod personally.

      I get it, and I get where it’s coming from.

      Fortunately the vast majority of Lemnmy users are smart enough to recognize passive voice and weasel words when they see them and call them out in the comments.

      Replacing the original headline, either editorializing or editing, is a form of sanitization and makes it less obvious when news orgs are doing this.

      I’ve had times going down the front page where “Oh, no, that CAN’T be a real headline…” then, surprise! It was!

        Fair enough. Glad you understand the frustration. Thanks for dealing with my rant. But I figured a better explanation was in order than just “it’s a dumb rule”.
