The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Yeah to be honest I was deluding myself for a long time, I mostly just answered questions and stuff there about software, audio, music, graphic design or talked about movies and music, I would rarely ever get a thank you or even an upvote for spending time to answer people. I know it's not the point, but it just suggests a pattern of rude behavior as a whole. I don't know why people feel the need to attack each other all the time, you can attack the ideas of the post or whatever, but now people have a tendency to make it personal right away. It's no good.
For some, Reddit is but a PVP server of an MMORPG. Never a shortage of assholes thinking they're smarter than the billions on Facebook.
It does feel that way. I just wanna share opinions, I don't want to debate people I didn't sign up for that. Especially from debaters who start with an insult and then go on with every logical fallacy there is.
True, reddit does feel a lot more aggressive when you try discussing something, not just politics. Like that tone itself, something like " anyone who does this or doesn't do this is really dumb/ piece of shit)" I have seen this sort of comments everywhere. I don't like the subtle aggression it shows. I'll be honest, lemmy has their own share of it, but it's a significantly smaller share of people than on reddit.
I'm guilty of it myself sometimes, but I recognize it and I'm trying to work on it, probably from spending so much damn time there.
I also like to help people there, but it's not even worth it anymore.
Sharing solutions or creating content on Reddit just helps to keep the platform relevant.
Once people see there's no value on Reddit they'll go after different platforms, some of them naturally finding Lemmy.
I like to help people but on this context it's just not worth it.
Right, so after 15 years of doing that I was banned for wishing the president would have a heart attack. So I haven't really been back to help out haha.
Quite rude of you to imply the president has a heart.
