Well, to sum up the story, I was part of a community on Reddit that was extremely poorly moderated, but also because most of the users were very rude, right? And that blessed system of Karma, created a separation of classes between them, you understand, which is ridiculous. But since it is a very controlled and moderate environment, and the intellectual level of the people here is much higher, I’m thinking about recreating this group. What kind of rules should I put in the description to avoid confusion?
“The intellectual level of people here is much higher”
Strong doubt on this one. I’ve seen the same people, same mentality. Nothing wrong with that though.
I have to disagree. Every time I revisit that place I’m reminded why I’m here.
After the API exodus sure got worse but I don’t see much difference from the reddit-before-that
Also, there are still a looot of power users still on reddit. So yes quality got worse there but it’s not like the bests came here anyway
Sad tho.
do it and expect to see divides similar to what you saw on reddit; but that’s the beauty of the fediverse.
when your community’s collective group-think becomes unpalatable to a significant portion of its members (and it will eventually since lemmy is political at its core) they’ll go off and create their own duplicate community without that toxic group-think.
