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.

I'd love to see a flame war between MAGA conservatives and Hexbear tankies. Horseshoe theory manifest.

I'm gonna say that I'm happy for everyone to have their own, public and community run social media. Those without harmful views are welcome to participate in discussions, and those with harmful view may be banned but eventually mature past those harmful views by being outside of elon/Russia misinformation chambers.
I worry that all banning does is push people into the echo chambers that started this whole thing to begin with. We don't want assholes causing problems for everyone, but locking them out only deepens their resolve.

getting spammed with Bluesky
This is such a weird sentiment. As though links to any information outside the walled garden is inherently worthless.
every subreddit has been astroturfed to the extreme
Hi, hello, yes. Welcome to the year 2016.
Generally (reddit) cons don't even want stuff from outside their own sub, so it makes sense why they'd hate any bluesky links

Idc if they come here. I won’t see them.
I know the de facto attitude in the fediverse is to slag off Reddit, but I worry that they have a target on their back now. They are one of the last few big places online for Americans where left leaning and progressive thought predominates. It won't surprise me if Ketamine Nazi/Trump and the MAGA crowd make them a public enemy soon.
Good, then they’ll come here. Only thing this place is missing is users.

I mean I left that cesspool a while ago, but reddit being to liberal has fuckall to do with why I left it.
I read some of their garbage. They are in total denial as usual. They think it's all bots, apparently can't comprehend that so many people would be revolted by nazis.
Of course. They can’t accept that they’re the weirdos.
Funny, that's exactly the inverse of how I feel anytime I check in on Reddit, but I was subscribed to a lot of conspiracy subreddits.
They didn't used to be like that 😢
r/thedonald really was a plague.
They've tried a few times on their own instances (ExplodingHeads). They got purged and defederated so fast that they gave up as I've not seen more than 1 or 2 spammers shown up since.
Nah, they'll probably flee to one of those alt-right dollar store reddit replacements that popped up a few years ago. Assuming they are still in operation.
Cries about propaganda inside of a propaganda sub. r/Conservative users are an incredible bunch.
They need their safe space away from all those bullies 😭
They can stick to [email protected], I don't mind them when in their own space. Crazies have truthless social anyway.
Nah fuck that they already have their own space and even whole platforms, Xitter, Facebook/Instagram, and "Truth" Social
Im bombed by leftist propaganda
They are correct, but not how they think. A big part of conservatism, even among the less fanatical, is to bury your head in the sand. I can see how peeking out for some air will seem like a flood of propaganda. Like that "final experiment" that just went down to dunk on flat earth, but for even the most mundane thing about how society works.
I'd imagine they don't, because we're likely lumped in with Bluesky. And if some do make it here, they normally get reported on main instances, and their instances would unlikely remain federated for long.
I guess they're getting mad about arguing with themselves and are looking for the traditional captive audience they thought they had.
I'd argue it's already there
