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.

Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Huffman? The guy involved in lossless compression?

This is why fediverse UI and intuitiveness being as good as possible, rather than "open sourcey", is so important.

Everything helps. Those of you who are working on the Fediverse, thank you!

Woah, looks like a post from a few years ago must have gotten stuck behind a file cabinet!

they cover it up well, you don't notice from within their ecosystem

A reddit thread about this is what actually led me here. Reddit has been on my shit list for a while, it's cool this place exists.

We should be going back on there and proselytizing (and on this end, welcoming new users with h links to documentation etc.) btw if you're new I recommend checking out the various mobile clients. I personally use lemmy sync because of muscle memory from years of using it on reddit, but there's a number of open source ones too.

I agree. I do worry about the barrier to entry for some people. I know it gets brought up a lot here but I think it's a valid criticism.

Looking into apps was actually the first thing I did after making an account!

I used Sync for a few minutes, but then settled on Voyager because they don't collect any data.

Voyager is very nice btw.

Welcome! Bring your content, enjoy the friendly people :)

And form a positive opinion on Linux man. Just any opinion. They'll slaughter you without one it's rough out there

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago

And if you don't have an opinion on linux just reply with "I use arch btw"

Non-corporate owned media is going to be the only way to escape the continued enshittification of the internet.

what was that song again the slave owners sang? 'land o'the freeeee' or sth.... it gets funnier the more history they produce.
