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).

    Users upvoting/downvoting leads to a hivemind, even if the moderation is not complicit (which it often is).

      I like hiding votes until you’ve voted. Allowing users, communities, or instances to change how posts/comments are sorted might help too.
