[Meta] No mention in about concerning expected black levels

There should probably be a note explaining expected types of backgrounds to be posted to this community. Non-black ones are getting downvoted but to be fair to those posters there is currently no guidance of what types of backgrounds are expected here.

  • @_MoveSwiftly@lemmy.world don’t know if this notifies as I’m relatively new to Lemmy.

    I want to be clear I am not proposing any specific % be set unless we get our own black checking bot. But some vague explanation would be better than nothing.

    • Notifications do work, thanks for tagging me!

      I am not clear on the rule you're proposing. Would you like to be added as a mod and handle this?

      • Cool, glad it helped. I’m inclined not to be a mod as I just don’t have the time to be spending unfortunately. Just bursts here and there. Thank you though.

        I had in mind something along the lines of:

        Community for posting AMOLED background images, these backgrounds are mostly true black which on (am)oled displays turn the pixels off entirely.

        But if you prefer more of a rule format

        Images posted should be at least 1/3rd true black and generally are 50% or more true black.

        As I noted though this gets harder to enforce without a black pixel checking bot.
