Establishing a new Fediquette (self.fediverse)

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.

My take for the fediverse would include:

  • Again, downvote not for disagreement but for content that clearly does not contribute to the discussion. Reason should not be given, as downvoting should be done sparingly and should not require a reason (for most sane human beings).

  • Be aware when interacting cross-instances. Culture, norms, and rules may differ.

  • Unless the instance operator is fine with it, limit your self-content sharing and self-promotion.

  • Remember that most of the fediverse instances are independent and they owe you nothing. The instance operator's decisions are final.

  • Do not squat names on multiple servers unless it's what you generally have been using.

  • Cats are still the supreme beings. The fediverse resides on the Internet (assuming that it runs on TCP/IP), so the cat supremacy rule applies.

Cats are corner-pissing vermin. Fite me.
