Yeah, on Reddit there was seemingly an unspoken rule of downvoting only if it’s off-topic or doesn’t add to discussion. Not always, but given that’s how a lot of subreddits worked and also the size of Reddit, that rule was better enforced while here that unspoken rule doesn’t really exist.

As for why I dropped the AM community: Mainly because I was being more inactive on Lemmy so it wasn’t worth me moderating it. There’s also a stronghold from the FOSS/Linux community which is probably why I was getting downvotes for being on-topic on a community about Apple Music. I tried to keep it active but it just wasn’t worth it if my efforts were responded to with downvotes. I also had to leave fediverse communities on Lemmy since they were getting really toxic whenever Bluesky, a platform I use alongside fedi, is posted there.
