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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?

To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

No longer on Reddit. That’s why I’m here. Kept getting banned because, “who knows”?

How do you tell the difference between Russian propaganda and right wing American propaganda?

Russia also does left wing propaganda. Their goal is chaos and division.

I was making a joke using the meme from The Office where corporate asks what the difference between two pictures is. I was using your comment as a setup to insinuate that right wing propaganda is the same as Russian propaganda.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, but that makes no sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Makes pretty good sense to me. They're using the meme format to imply that there are no differences between the two, i.e. right wing propaganda is just Russian propaganda.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, but they're too different, mutually exclusive countries.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, that is what makes it a joke, the subversion of expectations.

I only frequent one closed group on Reddit - the only reason I still have my account. I gather this group to be quite safe. The main page, though, is a mess, USNazis and Russians way to frequent.

Reddit has been protecting russian bot farms for almost a decade now.

they pretend to a sweep on occasion, only to have them come back even worst than before. how do we know? we know political posts suddenly becomes super quiet of any "both sides ranting" temporarily. and resemble more like lemmy posts of politics.

and now Israel has a vested interest with reddit, because of the gaza conflict.

If by recent you mean 5-6 years then yes
