I don't think we do no. Reddit (users) has long been known for its "know-it-all" elitist attitude. I dunno if that is a natural consequence of the voting system but we shouldn't try to replicate it.
Meanwhile, my experience on Lemmy has been a whole lot of "you don't like Stalin because you haven't read enough Chomsky."
It's actually worse than reddit in many ways.
