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:
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
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.
That's it.
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.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
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.
Let everyone have their own content.
Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
yay, my once which was my fav platform becoming a shitshow. i won't miss it
Well... that's just going to be most American sites going forward. That's why ultimately platforms like Lemmy are so important. What a lot of people here in the States don't realize is that this is a war on information.
Sub name checks out
I've gotten permabans on multiple subs and also overall bans from reddit admin itself. Various reasons like pro-luigi comments, anti-trump comments, anti-israeli comments, pro-ukraine comments. Reddit is a propaganda platform now.
Pro Anti 1% ban here.
Yep. I am done with Reddit too. Just deleted my account after this bullshit.
TBH, getting banned from a sub for something that got downvoted there as well just means you said something in the wrong place to the wrong people. That exact same thing can (and does) happen in Lemmy too.
My only permaban in my 10 year Reddit history is for explaining someone making a reference to the MLP cum jar meme, and in hindsight, I did deserve that, even if someone did specifically ask what it meant.
What was the topic about? Sounds like you pissed someone off good 😂
Crazy, ironically, I wouldn't consider most dem politicians liberals. They're just not as far right as Republicans.
I once saw a comment by a European explaining American politics to another European.
“Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis.”
I was replying to a comment about how a lot of Leftist subs have been taken over by tankies. I was mentioning the growing accelerationist rhetoric among those same tankies. They don't want to hear anything about fixing the world we live in, because there's no glory in that, so all they focus on is armed revolution and collapse. They see Trump and MAGA as a good thing, because it will being about collapse of the American Empire faster.
I will never understand people who think the only way to build a better world is to destroy the one they have.
So you’re wanting a return to some status quo, and don’t understand why progressive people would reject your conservatism.
Without radical change, we’ll experience climate collapse. There’s no way to avoid that by straddling the middle.
I am so close to deleting Reddit too, among all other American services I’ve been canceling since the beginning of the new year.
I deleted all my reddit accounts but one as I want to go through my saved history first. Fuck reddit.

Meanwhile PoliticalCompassMemes and the 4chan subreddit stays up
When it comes to controversial subs, the general rule is if you have really dedicated mods who are super careful to never break a rule themselves you can generally keep it up.
Those mods not breaking any rules individually is important because otherwise the admins will invoke their backup plan for dealing with a sub they don't like but isn't breaking any rules - keeping the mods under a microscope and looking for any excuse to ban them and immediately ban the sub for being unmoderated, refuse to give it to new mods, and ban any replacement sub for recreating a banned sub.
They could just ban the sub because they don't like it, but that kind of seeming capriciousness tends to get a bad reaction from the userbase, which is why they look for an excuse to justify the ban.
I've seen a lot of awful subreddits over time but PoliticalCompassMemes was the first subreddit I ran into that made me feel like I was actually staring into the start of the pipeline. The way it was masquerading as a "funny all inclusive political humour sub" at the time was nauseating and it's only gotten worse since.
