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.

what's wrong with my instance? its a real question, i dont use lemmy that often

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Extremely sensitive admins who ban people from all communities for any criticism of China, Cuba and North Korea.

It's a running joke on Lemmy at this point.

So these socialist admins banned some people from all socialist communities. Then the liberal admins from the largest instances banned all socialists from all instances as collective punishment. Because... authoritarianism?

I mean that explanation doesn't explain why the socialist instances are all pre-banned and pre-censored on the mainstream instances. Which makes the poster perfect irony.

Jokes are funny. the Triad is barely amusing.

oops, i should migrate

They do, look at their unbelievably purple prose. This person thinks they're the modern day Lenin or something.

lemmy.ml 😬

Haha who the hell made this? This reads like a basement dwellers wet dream. "fight the man! Fight the machine!.....from our keyboards!"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago

Does it wax poetic? Yeah, sure.

Is it right? Yes.

Is it from our keyboards? So what? That's how it starts. If we don't congregate and open communication about what's happening in a space where we can't be censored, then there's no chance of anything in opposition happening.

It borders on cringe, but I support it 100%.

It's a little bit dramatic, it's a little bit wordy.
Yup, it probably is a genuine thing from the source: certainly, it was written by a redditor.

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Yeah, this is a terminally online manifesto that I couldn't even get through. It's roleplay and storytelling, which is what our species is great at, but it doesn't connect with reality beyond that.

Look guys, if you want to engage in some kind of organized social action that will actually make a difference, turn off social media entirely. You moving from reddit to lemmy feels good in a micro-narrative, but nobody cares, it won't change anything for anyone. It's not bad, but it's not some heroic action either.

You can do so, so much more for the causes you care about by GOING THE FUCK OUTSIDE.

I mean....it all starts with communication, right?

This platform is a source for communication. One that isn't affected by corporate goons and Nazis the way Reddit is. The internet is literally the most effective form of communication if used properly. Yeah, you eventually have to go outside and get dirty, but it starts places like this.

We shouldn't be putting this post down. It's not productive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

I think that you can leave reddit and do other meaningful things as well. In fact it might even help you do so. And being a little dramatic might just be what some people need as a push to do it. I didn't get through all of this either, but then I have already left there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

lemmy . ml sucks too, btw… this little flyer leads people straight into the worst instance… one that’s essentially only chinese communist propaganda

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Another reddexit?

There have been multiple, i left at the second, but reddit is filled to the brim with AI accounts and people who have no idea. Even if its all fake, reddit has enough traffic Tongo on for a while.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

True. But Reddit has already lost users. I 100% noticed a reduction after they banned 3rd party apps. Daily top posts don't have as many upvotes as they used to. Less total comments.

A small win, but a win nonetheless. I mean, we're here.
