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).

    certain ideas usually unanimously shared between individuals get boosted up to the top and become general consensus.

    Weird how those ideas of yours usually correspond with something western politicians and think thanks spout on the daily.

    Weird how non western ideas that somehow survive deletion are usually downvoted to oblivion or flagged and hidden.

    Weird how Reddit hired a literal CIA agent to manage their content even though said person had zero experience working that role.

    Weird weird weird back-to-me
