    This is the kind of thing where moderators need to put in a lot of active work to enforce some level of content and behavior standards or it'll simply collapse to the basic state of human laziness like most online communities.

    There's not exactly anything wrong with that - it's perfectly normal - but people will always default to doing this kind of thing unless there's active effort to prevent it, and I haven't really seen any Fediverse communities interested in doing that work yet (which I wouldn't blame them for; it's nontrivial)

      It would probably help to only look at posts with a certain amount of votes where more people will end up seeing it

        I use the opposite approach and sort by new in subscribed communities only by default and take note of the submitter. Some people make consistently higher quality posts than others.
