Research
Table 1: The prevalence of Rules in Mastodon and Reddit sub-communities. Rules can be both prescriptive and restrictive and can cover multiple content categories. For example, "Treat others with respect" is a prescriptive personality rule, "Don't be a jerk" is restrictive personality rule and "Be civil and be kind. If you need to criticise, punch up, never down. Hate speech, intended to incite or offend, is not acceptable" is a both prescriptive and restrictive rule that covers multiple categories, including personality, hate speech, and harassment. "Mastodon Instances" refers to those in the sample dataset (100 instances, 690 rules), and "Subreddits" refers to those in Fiesler and colleagues large-scale dataset [18].
