Comment on Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid?

Can’t speak for the mods, but I think people who subscribe here also subscribe to the AskLemmy type communities and they don’t look at what community they’re in.
Mods will do what mods will do. I think users should just downvote unhelpful comments anyway. I myself have voting (both ways) enabled, but I don’t see numbers or vote weight, but I think a lot of people do. So I don’t fully participate in the voting, but that is what it’s for.

Some communities have downvoting disabled, but as an alternative to downvoting, you can also just not upvote the comment or report it if it actually breaks rules. I don’t think being rude in the comments is against the rules, but it isn’t nice, so I usually just ignore those comments.

Being rude, in and of itself, doesn’t break the rules in most communities. Some do say to argue in good faith or something to that effect, but none really outright ban rudeness. Maybe the “nice” communities where people go to get away from drama. I dunno. I don’t read a lot of sidebars. The way I try to conduct myself generally fits with a lot of communities. The ones it doesn’t, will kick me out. And that’s fine, to a point. I mean it’s not great but it’s also not the end of, well, anything.
