The hacking community on Reddit is imo one of the most toxic communities. Nearly every question someone asks the top comment is someone talking shit about OP, insulting them, or just gatekeeping hacking in general. We were all new once, if someone asks a script kiddie question, then help them out and point them in the right direction.
I would say that should go for every community. But people somehow just want reddit 2, which i don’t really understand
It seems like you care about !Hacking@lemmy.ml . Why don’t you head over !community_requests@lemmy.ml and ask to become the moderator here? You’ll probably get it easily as @qarmah didn’t show any activity in the past three years.
Then you can set out the rules and influence the culture here, build a team of mods and make this a nice place. I’m trying to do the same on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml (and yes, I got the moderator rights a few days after requesting. In a funny turn of events, the original moderator popped up again as well. I did an open call for mods, and there are 5 mods in total now.
I tried a while back and never heard anything. I’ll try again though, thanks!
Good luck! I have to mention that I was active on the osm-community since the Reddit-failover and also included some other accounts to prove my involvement. That might have helped.
OK but what if you just miss the nostalgic feel of watching the comments comment on eveything but the question being ask. Until someone gives the wrong answer, then one goes, actually…
Miss those long gone days
No, fuck youuu~.
