I Hope Rexxitors Tone Down the Low-Hanging Comment Chains on Lemmy. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

I think it's natural to want the majority of posts to meet one's preferences but what one finds interesting/entertaining/etc. varies for each person.

I love diversity and choice and so I'm happy that each community can have their own individual rules/cultures and we can pick which communities we want to join. E.g., I wouldn't expect the same behaviour/rules/culture in a shit posting community compared to an arch linux community, but I'm glad both types of communities and content will exist.

We can collectively choose what kinds of unique cakes to bake and we can choose which cakes to eat too. :D

What's the difference?

Those were just two random examples. It would depend on whatever rules/guidelines each community owner makes.

Basically each community can have their own rules.

Some communities may allow swearing and some may not
Some may allow 18+ content and some may not
etc.
