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
The problem with consensus is you can fake it pretty easily with a bunch of bots.

You guys are still using reddit?
Lots of local discussion groups that simply don't exist on lemmy. I've tried getting them to move too.
No good drug sub here either
Trying to get drug ppl to change habits, am I right? 😏😂
I am proudly permabanned from reddit for telling people to punch Nazis.
Hey that literally just happened to me too.

shortly after the article came out talking about how Reddit is bending the knee to Musky's hissy fit, I received two notifications from Reddit; one, a 7-Day ban for "breaking multiple rules" but not telling me what actually happened, and after sending them an appeal asking what exactly I was banned for, I received the second notification, telling me that I was permanently banned for, again, "breaking multiple rules".
as far as I'm concerned, I'm finally free.
I've been banned by reddit many times, but they always coincided with disagreeing with a mod. They don't need to tell you what rules you broke when it was just a disagreement.
The one time this happened with me was with Worldnews after I told some racist shithead making derogatory, sexist comments against third world women (specifically, the Philippines, where I'm from) to shut up and stick to gardening. Got permabanned from the sub AND a 7 day suspension from Reddit. Racist guy got no punish of course.
So, it seems like this sort of thing commonly happens with big default subs, because I've never had a sub ban coincide with a Reddit suspension like that anywhere else.

I just got a 3 day ban for saying that it's everyone's civic duty to doxx anyone they know involved in this current administration's nazi bullshit.
I still stand by that, and as soon as the ban clears I'm going to be wiping my account and closing it for good. Fuck that place.
Doxxing is against ToS and also just, straight up illegal lawfully in most places around the world, and wouldn't be acceptable even on Lemmy. So I don't really see that as an unreasonable ban, even if you had a good reason to say it.

I brought attention to some concerning moderation in spaces related to sex (and sexual assault recovery - a lot of subreddits are places for people to find victims to get them to tell their stories for “enjoyment”) and got some sort of IP ban a while back.
Keep in mind there’s circumstantial evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell might have been a power mod too.

Sounds like they are panicing if anything

I mean there's little point to become invested in reddit when they're going skew that far right and then censor/delete and ban everything with appeals getting ignored.
Communities are having to over moderate. I can't even say Fuck Christians or Billionaires shouldn't exist without it being hate speech or violence, but rightiods get to spam their lgbtq hate. And the less said about violent Porn subs the better.
Truely a dark time 😮💨
r/guro is still up r/beastlove probably is r/guroerotica r/dykebreaking
Tons and tons of violent misogyny subs. There’s a family of them around “degrading women” or whatever.
This isn’t necessarily an opposition to people enjoying dark themes in porn. But these communities aren’t even quarantined. The comment sections often are disturbing and violent in a way that even wishing Musk an enjoyable mission to the sun doesn’t compare. It’s naked hypocrisy.
I think this is important. The fascists don’t have an opposition to porn, especially violent heterosexual porn. I’ve continued to hear about how Twitter is “good” for porn.
I think the craziest part about these dark porn subs is Everytime I mention this topic people know exactly what I'm talking about and then mention names, and subs I've never even heard of let alone want to comprehend.
And people want to advertise on Reddit? honestly how has this not made more news?

Like with the gore subreddits (i.e watchpeopledie, eyeblech) those subs need media attention first before getting suspended for good.

Ooopsie, there goes your money. Not exactly a good idea to cross your community, is it?
