As the fediverse continues to grow, let’s reflect on some of the things that we disliked most about posting/lurking on reddit and what we can do differently now that we have a chance to build something new.

    Using voting on a post or comment like a yes/no poll. I think we should rather upvote if the comment is interesting, or related to topic and actually reply if we disagree with comment.

        That is actually a good question. I must do a little more research on kbin to understand the difference between boost vs upvote better. Some magazines, with memes and images, may need a different approach. Where an upvote could mean that you enjoyed the content. Magazines aimed at discussion would probably be better served if the upvote meant, this is interesting and worth chatting about.

        It is early days for me here, so I am still getting a feel for the place, but the reddit habit of simply down voting an unpopular opinion without any context is a bad one. It does not further discussion and can sometimes exclude valid thoughts.
