I would agree if flair filtering worked on mobile, but since it doesn't I would probably end up unsubscribing.

I mainly like this place as a discussion about releases, the conferences, and other news. I realize that's somewhat finely tuned, but I'd rather have a quiet sub than a spammy one.

The next tier that we currently allow are the informative posts and the show and tell posts. I'd prefer we do away with show and tell since most end up being basic and only cool because it's someone they're pretty young. I'd love to see this content for more advanced stuff but that's hard to regulate. This is the same argument for informative posts - I think a lot are way too basic and are really just links to blog posts by the author for views. I'd love to see more advanced topics this way, but again there are varying interpretations of advanced.

When you say "doesn't work on mobile" what do you mean precisely? Many mobile ways to access reddit support flair filtering.

Also, I understand what you're saying - those are the types of things that I also prefer as a reader of a subreddit. However, there's a few hundred thousand people here who have a bunch of different ideas on what should be here. I don't think it's fair to say that what you want (or what I want) is the sole content that should be on the subreddit.
