I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    Should we do something similar to reddiquette in lemmy? Lemmyquette?

      Lemmy.world has taken the rules from their Mastodon, which are linked from the frontpage.

      Lemmy is a more fragmented system than reddit, but so far the lemmy instances/servers I have seen have pretty good rules, with few exceptions, that have been defederated.

      If lemmy gets really big, I’m guessing it will split into spheres of different rules. For now I’m happy with the rules of lemmy.world, let’s just hope there will be good mods enough to uphold them.

      Relying on etiquette is a recipe for failure. You just end up with eternal September or worse.
