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.

    negative numbers = negative person.

    Negative person + negative person = negative people.

    Negative people * negative people = Reddit

    It’s less about telling you how to use your software, and more about understanding what it takes to cultivate a healthy community.

    It’s too late for reddit, but it’s not too late for us.
