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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Who else is fully expecting Reddit admins to come out in a few days banning twitter bans, and banning anyone that tries to enforce them?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They will not join mainstream instances obviously, and we can defederate them.

A hilarious part of this thread was that they convinced themselves that X couldn't possibly be that unpopular and it had to be a bunch of bots posting and upvoting these threads to ban X.

In support of this they said "This post about banning X is the [n]th most popular post ever on /r/LiverpoolFC, even higher than when they won the champions league! It can't be real". They didn't even consider that the post about banning X made it to the top of /r/all where a lot of people who couldn't care less about football/futbol/soccer upvoted it. They couldn't care less about that team, but they also supported banning X, so they upvoted.

lmao

u/MountainMan88 blocked me after calling his thinly veiled bullshit out over on reddit and was crying about it on r/Conservative.

So much for not needing safe spaces and echo chambers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I support any efforts to point out who the real snowflakes are. "Waahh I can't be a racist Nazi in public sobs it's just not fair!!1!"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (4 children)

They should just make their own Lemmy instance and stop bitching.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Iirc truth social is just a mastadon instance or something.

But then they would get defederated and have to face the fact that everybody hates them, and that wouldn't be as fun as doing their hate speech with a big daddy corporation to shield them from the consequences.

Just look at how many people are defending or downplaying the elon salute. I'm shocked, after only seeing a few 'conservative' types a month for the entire lemmy life I've had.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Just hit em with one of these, and maybe a report for good measure if they earned it

Why are blue sky links bad?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because Bluesky blocks hate speech and Nazis. Sure Conservatives say they're blocking "conservative ideas" but as soon as you ask which ideas specifically they throw a tantrum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Interesting, I thought blue sky is supposed to be decentralized, is that not the case?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Definitely not.

Because they are all libtards in that posters mind

I think stormfront registration is still open.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Has /r/Conservative been flooded with non-racists or something?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 months ago (1 children)

PSA: IF THE TROLLS DO MIGRATE HERE, DO NOT FEED THEM. BLOCK AND REPORT IF THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING A PRODUCTIVE, CIVIL CONVERSATION.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not interested in having a civil conversation with fascists either

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Unless they come out the gate swinging, please be careful. I don't know about you, but I want to get as many people as possible on board with combating the far right.

Attacking somebody who is legitimately trying to learn will only entrench them deeper in their prior beliefs. It might take a few sentences to find out if they are being genuine, but if you can change their perspective, it is worth it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

You basically can't teach conservatives. If they were capable of learning and changing they wouldn't be conservatives in the first place. Consider that the majority of self avowed conservatives in the US literally believe the world is less than 10,000 years old created as is and jeebus is coming back real soon now. Literally 30% of the US population believes this!

White supremacy and the flat earth are actually gaining ground in this group.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

With the coming govt. actions starting to more directly and visibly affect people's lives, it will probably wake up (lol) at least a few people. Assuming they are all evil will harm us more than help us. At the end of the day, we are all human. We need all the help we can get and if they are offering, it would be rude to dismiss them.

legitimately trying to learn

Legitimately trying to learn is the vaccine against fascism. I'm not sure there's a cure.
