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:
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.
The mods at r/popculture pointed it out. And then the screenshot above.
The subreddit drama
Reddit has been doing this shit for years. It's a big reason why I left. Spez (little piggie) was only the catalyst.
A few ban-happy,power tripping moderators did come over here, though. I don't have specifics on that, I just know I've seen them, and I've also been banned for some real dumb shit. I just stay away from those communities/instances.
This is awesome. Are they going to start banning any reference to the SuperMario Bros IP, now?
e.g.
"This guy is looking more and more like Bowser every day, someone ought to do something about it"
"Princess peach has had it, time to go get the parasol"
"I'm sick of these motherfucking goombas on this motherfucking Earth"
They banned my old reddit account because I reported fake news that was being posted on r/conservative. Apparently subreddit mods can report users who use the report tool and can just get you banned.
They recently, meaning I don’t exactly know when it happened, gave mods the ability to report you for “Abuse of the report tool”. For the record, I’m a mod on some subreddits, and that’s an absurd thing to need. I’ve learned a few things about being a Reddit mod.
I got permanently banned for pointing out that a popular sex advice subreddit was being run by a rapist…
And then they say "if a user is breaking the rules, don't engage, use the report button."
Which is stupid. A mod can just ban you forever and call it a day. Where the Admins have fucked up is if you harass a mod via modmail, they can only mute you for I think 28 days max, before you can start harassing them again. So, instead of letting a mod simply mute you forever, they created the report bullshit.
I got a warning for a similar thing. They can disagree with the report, but warning/banning users for it is insane
So sad…I loved Reddit…I’m so sad to see it come to this. I’m so sad for all of the young people who think this is how the internet should be…..
Good. I hope Reddit tears itself apart. After having three accounts banned because I was better at insults than the one trying to haze me I think that site had run its course.
It won't, it will just complete the transition to a right wing propaganda platform, because right wing chuds are very profitable.
The entire stuff going on is too stupid for me. I was using Lemmy for lurking and Reddit for other shit. I'm staying here now.
Luigi Luigi. Luigi Luigi Luigi. Luigi, Luigi Luigi hahaha. Luigi Luigi.
Luigi Luigi!
Refreshing to see a comment like this. I was dumbfounded when I opened the Reddit thread this morning and found NONE of this. The Reddit of Old is quite dead. Long live the Reddit of Whatever the Fuck this is; or, better yet, platforms like Lemmy.
Fuck king Krasnov, hail luigi
Also acceptable: Aloigi, Aloisi, Aloisio, Lodovico, Ludovico, Alvise, Gigi, Gigio, Gigino, Ginetto, Gino, Luigino, Vico
My 11 year old account, very active account, was recently banned from reddit but I'm not sure why. They deleted the comment so I'm not sure what it said. But I've been posting there for 11 years with no issues so something has changed.
I believe the comment I made was talking about if the US invaded Canada and I said they would be hard pressed to hold the country because Canadians look like Americans and we would take the battle across the border.
It's a common sense statement. Doesn't incite any more violence then quoting half the things Trump says about Canada any given day.
I think Reddit is purging the left leaning accounts and making a Nazi safespace like Twitter.
Ah, they’re now mini-zampolit for the reddit admins.
There's going to come a point when the things we can't say may need to be said. A time when the message is delivered with blank comments.
[ . . . ] will carry a message of it's own that becomes much more difficult to ban.
The way things are going these corpo social media shill ops will be just bots talking about shit ruling class feels good about and every person with a normal opinions will be banned.
They then will expect people to mirror the bot's narrative without engaging because they think we are this stupid lol
Victual the affluent.
So do we all sign back into our old reddit accounts to say "Luigi" until permaban?
Masticate the bourgeoisie
I would, but I deleted my 17 year old account last year after the API mess and other spez bullshit that I don’t even recall 🤣
