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 got nothing more to say, you hit the nail on the head.

It reminds me of grading movies. If someone says to me its an 8/10, that is useless information. If they tell me it has some action, I'm intruged. Then they tell me it's a Marvel movie, and I lose all interest.

However, I will say that it was entertaining as fuck to see /u/spez's comment karma tank - but he's not really a member of the reddit community, just the warden hearing the prisoners shout "fuck you!" before starting a riot and a partial breakout.
