I Hope Rexxitors Tone Down the Low-Hanging Comment Chains on Lemmy. - Lemmy.world

I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

@[email protected] wrote a great post about Slashdot upvotes/moderation which I think makes a good feature request.

Here is the opening line of their post: “this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc.”

The post also mentions moderation as well so I suggest a full read.

    I hope I described it well, I didn’t expect it to become a post :)

    I’m not sure how applicable much of this would be to lemmy though. The federated nature of the software makes things like meta-moderation a lot more difficult.
