News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
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.

As a former mod also, here's what I found. There is a post or comment in your group. It doesn't violate the rules of reddit. You are not calling for violence. You are not being a jerk to other posters. But what you post does not conform with the narrative that reddit pushes. So a troll that comes to your group goes crazy because there is someone with an opinion that conflicts with theirs. Oh the horror. They "report" the comment or post. An Admin who is probably a jerk since most of them are, is also pissed at "my god" someone with a "bad" opinion sees the report. And now they ban you site wide. So the mods of that group have zero say in it. The ironic part is the Admin clown needs to site a reason in their ban message to the user. And since you haven't violated the rules they just lie. Their new favorite is "calling for violence". In the world of reddit, if you have a contrary opinion you are calling for violence.
The way this should work is Admins who see a report should not site wide ban anyone. The Admins should message the GROUP mods and say remove this post or comment and then ban them from your group for 7 days, a month, etc.
