Don't use Reddit for Linux or BSD related questions

"If you think independently and don't follow "the hive mind", you will definitely not be liked on social media."

@sourcerer no judgement :-)

Maybe the best compliment I can pay to /r/freebsd participants: the community is almost entirely self-moderating, which makes formal moderation a breeze. It's a walk in the park.

Reddit does have its standard rules and redditquette, but /r/freebsd literally has no rules โ€” https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/about/rules/ โ€” and I never felt the need to make a set โ€ฆ

@grahamperrin @offtopic Thank you. And don't worry, i don't believe that every corner of reddit is the same.

And to be fair. I said that some people are fanatical, and i'm kinda too. (I silently want to push BlendIT as preferred place! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ).

But now serious, on the other hand... popularity comes at price.

I'm sorry for offtopic but, reddit is still needed.

Take a look for example on youtube creators. When they start, they have small but very nice and passionate community. But when channel grows, popularity increase and suddenly you can meet all sorts of people... quality in discussions can decrease.

I think, sometimes popularity isn't good. And i hope i will always be 'average joe'.
