Well, to sum up the story, I was part of a community on Reddit that was extremely poorly moderated, but also because most of the users were very rude, right? And that blessed system of Karma, created a separation of classes between them, you understand, which is ridiculous. But since it is a very controlled and moderate environment, and the intellectual level of the people here is much higher, I’m thinking about recreating this group. What kind of rules should I put in the description to avoid confusion?
“The intellectual level of people here is much higher”
Strong doubt on this one. I’ve seen the same people, same mentality. Nothing wrong with that though.

I’m with you on this!
I have to disagree. Every time I revisit that place I’m reminded why I’m here.
Hmm, invaders of that place? Which community are they in so I can avoid them…
All of them
Hmm, my block list is going to fill up…again…so sad.
What do you have to lose?
A little bit of my mental health, here is to learn new things, relax… life is already stress-free. Normal life
Fair enough. What kind of community are you thinking of? Maybe I could help.
do it and expect to see divides similar to what you saw on reddit; but that’s the beauty of the fediverse.
when your community’s collective group-think becomes unpalatable to a significant portion of its members (and it will eventually since lemmy is political at its core) they’ll go off and create their own duplicate community without that toxic group-think.
That it is going to be free of all those things you mentioned in your description. If you create it I will gladly join. I just remade a reddit account after a month of deleting my old one and found out how hard it was to gain Karma. I never realized it was such an uphill battle. Other social media doesn’t do this. They usually just use account age or make you wait a week before participating. Just inform that everyone will be treated fairly and not targeted by any power hungry mod. And that it is more sophisticated and mature than the reddit version .
