Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

MODERATORS
 

Old habits die hard, but there's Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die.

Many "golden-age" redditors remember a time when downvoting was reserved for hostility, not a different opinion. For the sake of our growing community I would like to implore everyone to be awesome to each other.

However, this place is not Reddit.

  • We don't measure in bananas here.
  • We don't need to append "edit: typo" to edited posts and comments.
  • if you see something which is worthy of a downvote: down vote and move on! Don't engage with it and feed the algorithm/engament machine so other people are exposed to it when sorting by active.

I only agree with two rules: be awesome to each other (if in kind) and downvote is not a disagree button, it's a troll button.

Dictating other rules, like the use of the edit keyword or how to measure scale of something... Is not awesome.
