low effort and rage bait posts I define as posts that are churned out purely as a means to get people riled up. or posts that have a low level of substance for discussion.

Posts like "OMG look at what X Feminist did" usually fall under that.

I thank you for trying to keep things more active. but there's a lot you post that comes across as poorly written rants. and for that reason i get rid of them. you are free to appeal this however. but i can't guarantee anything will be reinstated.

You are absolutely correct that you put a lot more effort into your posts than a lot of posters who simply link to others or parrot ideas that are already popular.

However, your posts are still "low effort" compared to theirs because the content of their "low effort" posts is the result of a lot of other people's efforts. When you link to someone else's work, the content that's being presented to the community has had a lot of thought put into it. When you parrot a popular idea, you are presenting a concept that has had a lot of thought put into it that has been validated by a lot of people. So these post don't require a lot of effort to make but contain "high effort" content. Although, personally, I feel that most of that content is counterproductive, disingenuous and designed to spread hate. I would much prefer seeing more original content.

Your posts contain original ideas, however, people will expect you to present a completed and validated idea with all the arguments needed to support that idea. But you don't do that, I've seen you list a set of incomplete numbers and not even state the conclusion you're expecting people to arrive at.

Also, and this is very important. Improve your grammar. This will go a long way towards not looking like a troll. Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period. You don't need to be a native English speaker to figure out how to do that.
