Why hard paywalls is not blocked on Lemmy? - eviltoast

I started to notice some people posting NYT, Bloomberg or other websites with hard paywalls, that leads to people in the comments that are unable to read the article to discuess the headline without any analysis and some times spreading misinformation, which cannot be countered by the article, due to the paywall.

Which bring me to this: Why does no one thought about blocking hard paywalled articles for the sake of quality of discussion?

    I’m not sure what you’re saying. I’m saying that individual communities should have rules against paywalled content, depending on what the community is. Many should have blanket rules against paywalls since a vast majority cannot access them.

    You sounded like you didn’t want any rules whatsoever so that’s why i asked about trolls and garbage. You either moderate a community or you don’t.

      Where did I say that?

      Not wanting blanket rules for all communities doesn’t mean not wanting any rules.
