One thing I hated in the later years of reddit was the lack of reddiquette. Not making simple comments that could just have been an upvote. Reading the board rules. Trying to just be educated about your posts in general. Not asking for simple explanations that can easily be found on a web search.
The one thing I miss most about the old, old days of Reddit is the idea that the downvote button isn't an "I disagree" button. It's supposed to be a "this post is off-topic/irrelevant" button, or maybe at most a "this post is factually incorrect" button.
Unfortunately, I don't see any sort of unenforceable code of conduct surviving the onslaught of the general internet public. It's a nice idea, but if it didn't work on Reddit, it isn't going to work here.
I agree. This is an evolution for everyone involved right now. A bit of wild west is going to happen here for sure. Bots and scripts did alot for the site and new ones will have to be made. "reddiquette" is moderator and community controled, right now we are still unpacking. I would like to think this new post Reddit paradigm will be an intellectual evolutionary jump and not a drastic commercialization capture and kill. All hail our new kbin overlords !
