This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

TL;DR: Let’s try to be less interesting!

Hello from your mod team (seems like just me, if you’re interested in being a mod ping me)!

I’ve noticed that things have been getting pretty interesting around here lately and we need to tone that back a little. The goal of this community is to share things that aren’t particularly interesting that you come across.

Yes, “interesting” is very subjective, but I think we need to go back to our roots and consider what brought us all here… we wanted to be mildly interested.

Also, this isn’t a place for politics. There are many other communities for that, let’s keep it there.

Here are a couple great examples of what I feel we should strive for:

That’s all for now, thanks for your support and understanding.

Maybe we could start c/reasonablyinteresting for everything too interesting to post here

But how do you measure what is mildly and what is actually quite?

You pray to the mods for their wisdom

Either nothing is political or everything is.
