Interesting posts and comments are to be zapped.

Thoughtful replies are to be zapped.

Bots and slop are not to be zapped.

Replies indistinguishable from bots or slop are not to be zapped.

Ass-milking is not to be zapped.

Shitcoining is not to be zapped.

NSFW content is not to be zapped.

Naked links are not to be zapped (usually).

Asking about personal details is to be met with a "Nice try, fed!"

Nice try, fed is a sort of norm but I wasn't thinking of it that way.

Interesting that all the other norms you list have to do with zapping. Also, none of these are things that SN "enforces" in any way (I guess SN incentivizes zapping things you expect will be popular, but I'm hesitant to describe this as "enforcing). I wonder how SN could communicate such norms?

I'm not sure they need to be communicated or enforced by the head office. Communities are good at generate norms of behavior and people are good at picking up on them.

I wish we had some norms around downzapping and not engaging with trolls/dickheads, but I don't think those have emerged yet.

Communities are good at generate norms of behavior and people are good at picking up on them.

But they're extremely hard to measure objectively. Which one in your above list do you personally not agree with?

not engaging with dickheads

Why do I get notifications of you replying to me if this is a supposed norm? haha

I said that I wish it were a norm. I’m clearly part of the problem.

aren't you talking about norms tho? which I take to mean organic social behavior, and not policies enforced?
