Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I really wonder if they stayed community friendly... Would enough actual redditors be interested in owning a piece of the site they enjoyed spending time on?
I think I would've liked to own reddit stock when I was on it 20-50 hours a week. Now I just root for spez to fail.
I would've bought stock if it went public five years ago. Now I wish I could short it
Well yeah, the joy of owning a part of a business that is important to you is part of the reason i support worker co-ops.
Back when i liked Reddit i would have LOVED to own a tiny share of it, it would have given a new meaning to being a moderator. But now in 2024 the DSP program left me feeling dejected.
Wouldn't mind owning shares in Mastodon though.
Same
I am not sure if I ever want to own stock but... yeah I get what you mean. It was "ours", at one point. Then he made it clear that it is "his". Okay, lol, have fun with that. Spez, the canonical power-tripping Reddit mod.
I wonder what else he ruined too - like are people never going to wear Fedoras again, as a result? (although it was kinda on the way out regardless I suppose)
And btw, I am having fun - I must admit that I enjoy the Fediverse far more than I ever did Reddit. Lemmy is now to me what I imagine Reddit used to be, in its early days. I don't mean to be mean but... the people here are actually worth talking to.
That's partly because a much higher share of people here are actually people and not just various shades of bots.
^ THIS - whoops, old habits die hard.
/s btw, b/c I've mostly only ever done that ironically (iirc)
Okay, so you may not even think that's funny, but at least if you get mad, there's a chance that I would LISTEN and we could have a REAL discussion about that! I've changed people's minds here and vice versa, and yeah been brought down a peg or two, b/c as you said these are actually people.
Tbf Reddit has some irl people too, mixed in there, but they are... of a different kind. Some are indistinguishable from bots, while others may as well be.
I don't want to be social media-ist - if it was merely "another place" then that's entirely their call, to live however they want, but dayum, it really is different over there, especially after all the best people left, though it was becoming more that way all the time even before that.
Great interaction, fellow human! Here's a link to my onlyfans!
Oh noes (uwu), you forgot to include the link!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
the link
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I mean, I might buy a piece. The IPO is going to be a wild ride, win, lose, or draw.
It's such an obvious thing to short that... Maybe we should take a long position 🤔
Yeah, sure. Just like the reddit boycotts will do something, just like they'd never mess with the users and that the boycotting communities will stay closed in protest.
The reality of it is - it will go up. And it will trend up till it dies like Facebook - in irrellevancy among a different generation. So short it, wait for the long run, and lose everything you have in the process. It'll be funny.
