I’ve been seeing more often (and others have posted the same) that some of the elements of “Reddit etiquette” seem to be taking over here. Luckily I can still find discussion comments but it seems the jokes and general “downvote because I disagree” are slowly taking over.
So the question becomes is it the size or the functionality of the site? The people or popularity? What’s your thoughts?
edit: should I change it to Lemmy-hivemind? Exhibit A: the amount of downvotes without a single explanation (guessing it’s anything to do with Reddit being talked about).
Lemmy has the same deficient content sorting system. Just +1 or -1, no amplitude, no tagging just dumb total score plus hidden moderation interference shaping the discussion from the shadows.
I’m disappointed in Lemmy’s lack of experimentation or innovation here.
Yes, they are largely stuck in the toxic reddit mindset.
The power triping mods. They made their way here. Twas indeed sad.
It’s mod revolt that was lemmy’s first big push. Unfortunately this means they are the major force shaping Lemmy in their image. They want unchanged reddit except they want their fiefdom secured and that’s all we’re getting. Lemmy is not the last stop in the slashdot->digg->reddit->Lemmy exodus. I just hope we’re not stuck here another whole decade again.
