The threshold to become visible for Notes that don't have any links ( i.e.sources ) should be set much higher.

Description

While there are some relevant and good quality Notes that don't require anything other than text, the vast majority of notes (>90%) that are short and do not contain any links are either bogus, express personal opinions, have bad grammer and spelling, or are harassment/abuse.

It's appropriate for those to have a higher threshold to become visible.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #148 and the Community Notes source to locate the logic that determines when link-free Notes become visible. The issue does not specify a target threshold or identify files, tests, or an entry point, so a maintainer decision would be needed before implementation; done would require an agreed threshold and validation that visibility behavior matches it.
