This is a very large subreddit which requires a great deal of moderation. If we allowed every submission, then within a few hours the front page would be entirely comprised of ChatGPT-generated theories of everything, GIFs of perpetual motion machines, and high school homework questions. Within days, all the people who actually know physics would leave and we would end up like sci.physics.

On the other hand, there are many submissions that fall in a grey zone. For the past few days, there has been somewhat looser rule enforcement, which has increased the number of approved submissions from ~5/day to ~15/day. On one hand, this has resulted in a lot of thoughtful discussion about physics, at a depth not publicly available elsewhere. On the other hand, the topics tend to be repetitive and people might get bored of them.

What do you prefer in the long term?
