RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

MODERATORS
No intrusive ads or trackers. Less AI slop and more genuine human interaction. The ability to easily block communities, users, and instances is nice too.
And it's safe to say Luigi here
All this plus no profile karma. Meaning instead of chasing numbers to inflate our accounts and increase our perceived worth (whether consciously or subconsciously), people just are.
Or as you put it: more genuine human interaction.
To me it's more like the numbers mean something different. While they still mean mostly nothing, the numbers that display on your profile tell what kind of user you are and how much seniority you have here. Been here close to two years? Maybe you came from the API fiasco. Got 1000+ comments and 50+ post? Somewhat active user you probably seen once or twice before. 0 post and below 50 comments but seemingly active? Potential lurker. Still mostly meaningless because it could be alt and who really cares but NGL when I look at the stats of the really active users I'm like damn they really contributed to the Lemmy content mill.
