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).

    There’s an old saying about how if everywhere smells like dogshit, it’s best to check under one’s shoe.

    I think some people accuse others of being in a “hivemind” in a way that’s like they brought the Reddit with them, in particular the presumed sense of superiority over the hivemind/sheeple/“NPCs”/whatever.
