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.

MODERATORS
 

Reddit is removing the Direct Message feature, and all active conversations will be archived so you won't be able to continue ongoing conversations. Reddit also deleted all bad reviews for their app awhile ago. Its rating went from 3.4 to 4.5 stars overnight.

Digg will be removing the comment sections below the links to focus on link content itself.

I'm starting to see them banning me as a blessing. Spez is running that site into the ground. Guaranteed by the end of the year it's just gonna be "X²" or smth.

he got what he wanted out of reddit, the 249mil in stocks.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I have already deleted my reddit account - never go back,

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

lol just fuck off already, Reddit.

Wait, how did they delete bad reviews for their app? That doesn't even seem like it should be possible or allowed.

google probably allows the reviews to be astroturfed by indian spammers.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My guess is that Google recently devalued the negative reviews from the API fiasco because enough time has passed. The reviews are (probably) still there, but those 1 star ratings are no longer in the "average" shown to users.

So you go back to your negative review, edit it, and insert a random space somewhere. Did just that.

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

Yeah.... Big tech is rotten to the core.

I just don't understand how PM became DM for so many people. I mean it literally says "PM" in the screenshot, yet OP still changed it to "DM" in their post.

I remember it used to always be PM, then one day everyone suddenly started calling it DM and I just don't know why...

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

I use DM because PM stands for Post Meridian.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Some people choose to be stupid.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

My conspiracy theory is that big social platforms like Instagram and/or Snapchat are behind the change, because the P in PM is for Private and they are fundamentally against privacy, as they profit off your data, including likely analyzing your messages to serve you more relevant ads.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, it isn't very "private" as a messaging platform lol

We need to bring back tunneled DCC.
