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).

      The older I get, the more I start to empathise with the eternal september crowd. Well, maybe it’s me, or maybe it is the enshitification.

        I remember reading the story of the eternal September back when I was like 14 and being really saddened by it even then. And yeah, it’s only grown as I’ve gotten older.
