Try to post things that create discussion. We want people to feel engaged and feel their voices are heard, rather than to be a place of disposable content.

The bigger the sub, the worse it becomes. To prevent that, the community has to put standards in place and enforce them well. I'm glad we've banned memes and that we're leaning against low-effort submissions.
So now we also have to deal with the whole "your opinion is wrong so have a downvote!" attitude and hive mind culture. This can only countered with attracting mature people who are willing to maintain the quality of the sub (as /u/sugarsugar mentioned).
We need to remind both ourselves and others that every opinion has its own merit and that downvoting people with different opinions does not make you any more "right" than opposing opinions. Contribution points should be handed out as what they are, contribution points. This is not a popularity contest, this is about quality of the content someone contributes to the sub or discussion.
