Like, obviously around here you don’t subscribe to a subreddit, were not on reddit.

What about referring to the Original Poster as OP?

What about etiquette like marking edited posts and comments with “Edit: added words or explanations of edits made”?

    Well, yeah, like I said, way to late to change. Programmers are notoriously bad at naming things, but once named, its hard to change.

    It might have made the “Which instance do I join?” question a bit more intuitive and self-answerable if it was instead:

    Q: Which community do I join? A: Oh, obvious, the one that seems to match my IRL community/values.

    (If its not obvious, I am also a programmer, so any opinions on usability and human behaviour are also completely detached from reality 😄)
