The posts have 100 down votes each. We don't need a rule tbh.

In case anyone else had no idea what that word is as well:
proselytize verb
- : to induce someone to convert to one's faith
- : to recruit someone to join one's party, institution, or cause
Either way, I don't think a rule would be needed, I haden't really even realized there was an issue with it.
Kind of ironic to make a post recruiting people to join your cause against proselytizing tho...
"Tired of being told what to do?
Join our rebellion!"
That did occur to me, but it such a rule were instituted and my post therefore deleted, I would be delighted.
All proselytizing or just the religious kind?
All. Part of what bothers me is the dishonesty of phrasing it as a question. It strikes me as counter to the spirit of asklemmy, if the question isn't actually honestly seeking an answer. I'd be happy with a rule along those lines instead.
Like which posts, for instance?
Probably everything by this account
They’d have to pretty fucking dumb to think batshit ramblings like these are going to convert even one person to anything. But yeah, they are fucking annoying.
The 'block user' feature exists. I don't use it often, but that one certainly warranted it.
What o dislike about that is the can still see my content and comment on it; but I can’t see their shit or say anything about it. I would rather know than not. It’s a pretty stupid setup IMHO.
For a second I thought this was a 196 post and was wondering "where is it? Where is the proselytizing shitpost?"
Those kinds of posts stopped bothering me after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. You should try it.
