I learned so much in this talk - about what users value in their subreddits, the spectrum of rules mods use and, most fascinatingly, what rules are connected to healthier communities. If you missed, this is a great write-up, but @galenweld.bsky.social is so fun to listen to it's worth the watch.

Does it matter HOW you write community rules?
Research across thousands of subreddits suggests yes. "Be nice" beats "don't be mean" for community sentiment. But there's no one-size-fits-all approach.

Does it matter what rules communities set if they want prosocial outcomes?
