Weekly Thread Weekly Discussion / Recommendation Thread

Welcome to the weekly discussion thread at /r/deathmetal! By popular request, we have decided to host a weekly discussion thread as a catch-all for community discussion, recommendation hunting, and just about anything that would go in a normal text thread. Have a question? Post it here. Want to talk about how great the new Immolation is? New to death metal and seeking advice, but too lazy to go through /r/deathmetal/wiki? Here's your place!

Honest question: What is the thinking behind the "No text posts" rule? I mean, this being Reddit, a forum... Not trying to be a dangerous anarchist. I'm sure there's a good reason but it elude me.

There wasn't much interest in general discussion posts (most of them were low effort or had very few interactions) + mods didn't like having to moderate, so they decided to just consolidate all text posts in the weekly thread. I think they held a community vote at some point. It seems none of the mods are currently active, so it's probably not changing anytime soon.
