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.

Oh this is perfect!

Well, that’s the death of the free* forum. Went from BBS to newsgroups to phpBB to Reddit, each soft-killing its predecessor. But like WalMart killing Main Street, Reddit is going to kill the free forum.

Thank goodness for Lemmy and other free* social network software.

*free with the asterisk because we know it’s not free, we are enjoying the service that others volunteer to pay for.

Lemmy will need ads to support individual servers, eventually, when they're not attached to another org (like a server CNN would run for just outgoing news dissemination). The rest of them, with bills and needing to eat, may need to go to ads.

I support proper ads that do not get priority placement and aren't in-your-face.

I support prioritization of profile migration so we can vote with our feet if a particular server's ad volume and content offends our sensibilities.

But I'm just saying I fully expect some ads are gonna happen, and I hope we can prevent full enshittification when that happens.

Goodbye Reddit, Hello Lemmy.

so glad i left a long time ago

All it would take would be 1 person paying the subscription and just reposting the content in a hundred other subs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

We can do even better. Think of lemmit.online. A reddit account reposting content can be banned, a bot spamming that into an instance is unstoppable for them. Hell, most redditors don’t even understand instances to begin with.

Imagine the amount of salt we could mine this way.

I know it won't affect current subs, but the thought of a paid Piracy subreddit is amusing nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure this will turn out great (just kidding, I was using sarcasm there).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You say that but thousands if not millions will buy into it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

And it costs very little to do, so anyone who actually pays is automatic profit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

We'll see. Maybe, maybe not, but I wouldn't be surprised if they faked subscriptions just like they fake users.

Has the US collectively eaten something that tells them "Moar Tariffs"? It's as if Neoliberalism-Central got mercantilism cancer.

I was going to say something snarky about how they're going to fail because who would pay for social media, then I remembered blue checkmarks.

Reddit also has the trophies/reward bullshits.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Yeah, people are fantastically stupid

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 week ago

It's not even worth using for free
